Martin Kempton makes an honest and truthful idea of how TVC could be used in the Television factory, I also put a suggestion that all the main studios could be kept 3 kept by the BBC and others by Stanhope PLC. Stanhope could then open a television production centre and rent the studio’s as when needed. We must keep TVC for what it should be used for, use the other areas for other things like the hotel, flats ect but keep the main studios. We will only regret once there gone, you cannot just rebuild TVC when its smashed to bits.

An excellent, well-reasoned argument. How can they not agree….?! That idea of using TC8 to host sets from popular sitcoms is one I’ve had in mind for years – admittedly with neither the means nor inclination to do anything about it. Who wouldn’t want to stand behind Fawlty Towers’ reception desk or explore The Young Ones’ filthy kitchen? I would be first in the queue for such an attraction. It could even be offered as a package deal with a stay in the new hotel overlooking the doughnut…

As ever Martin Kempton is the voice of common sence and as a big fan of Television Centre myself, I would love the historic Studio 8 to be saved and even Studio 4 aswell. The BBC have spent millions over the last 20 years on Asbestos removal and refurbishment in 7 of the older studios at Television Centre and this made the studios safe and up to date with modern technology. It all seems such crying shame to demolish studios such as Studio 4, 6, & 8, all of which have been fitted with HD technology. Keep up the good work Martin, your Television Centre website has always been of great interest to me.
