19:45 - this was a complicated opening for the show. First the opening titles, then the regions opted out for 1 minute for their introductions, then the regions opted back in for Mike to introduce what's coming up on the networked show, before handing back to the regions for their own news, whilst London/South East region remained with Sue and Mike for their regional news. This is why Sue is presenting the South East opt out here. Very complicated.
17:00 - As Sue walks to her desk, we catch a quick glimpse of "South East" on the wall behind her. This was the area where the London/South East news would be presented by the Nationwide team, as that region has no regional news team. When the network programme aired, the camera tried to avoid showing that part of the wall.
@@johnking5174 I guess they both did, because I remember the Python one clearly. S4, Eric Idle anchoring, Graham Chapman reporting from an easy chair on Westminster Bridge
I was a tour guide at TV centre and conducted the last official tour - with staff members from Google in March 2013, once the paying public tours had just ended. Magical days spent within the walls of the heart of the BBC.
@@AndrewHalliwell Snorting cocaine too. So he was extra happy after his eventful nights away. This is why he was able to present Breakfast Time at 6.30am
I have not been there at all but this really is such a shame to see and watch of course. If only the bbc management had seen differently as well too. Interesting of course though thank you too.
What a perfect opportunity to show the studios where certain programs were made . But no. This idiot spends most of the time filming himself walking down corridors.
I watched this to see how things used to be! I've been working at the new TVC recently and must say they have done a great job on the redevelopment. Did feel weird though to be at 'the home of television' Great video. Thanks for posting. 👍
Mass imigration has caused immense house building destroying mostly greenbelt farm land & all that lies beneath it. Our country is being destroyed by traitors in government.
I think our feelings about current TV being inferior to the days of Nationwide and such shows are part rose-tint but partly justified. IMO there are a number of factors involved in that feeling (which I do share). 1) There is so much TV now and we've all seen (or endured) so much that we're harder to please. I've lost count of how many times I have started watching something (factual and drama) and suddenly realised it was a repackaging of something I'd seen before. From the 1960s onward there were a lot of genuinely new things coming along....... 2) In the past there was a constant drip-drip of something new added to the overall TV experience (Live international links, Colour, ever bigger screens, stereo, digital, HD....) that's missing now. For example, the leap from SD to HD was transformative, HD to UHD much less so. 3) Because there is so much TV time to be filled, spam is an inevitability. 4) Camera and studio tech now enable producing empty TV - i.e. great visuals with little actual content - very easy. That is not helped by the fact that a lot of content is made to be sold into multiple markets and is thus made with quite a lot of obvious filler or sacrificial segments and mind-numbing amounts of recap (Channel 5 factual content is particularly bad for that!). 5) With so many channels and so many ways to watch, time-shift, download, collect or buy TV content, the "Shared Experience" factor of a whole nation watching a single piece of content at a single moment is all but gone - few TV shows now attract more than 15% of the nation. Even the highs are not as high as they were. 1966 World cup final had close to 60% of the UK population watching - Morecambe & Wise Xmas show in 1977 watched by about 55% of us, Princess Diana funeral was watched by a comparable percentage in 1997, whereas HM Queen Elizabeth II Funeral in 2022 had about 38% of us watching. 6) There are fewer "commanding" authoritative but accessible presences doing various kinds of TV now. Fewer Ludo Kennedys, Robert Robinsons, Cliff Michelmores, Frank Boughs, dare I say Paxman..... there ARE contemporary presenters of comparable calibre (I would cite Amol Rajan, Emily Maitlis...) but they are a lot fewer.
Amazingly interesting film showing the nightmarish hell involved in producing what can only be described as a load of old cobblers. Everything shown was just trivial pointless nonsense but because we only had 3 channels back then this stuff was really all we had to watch.
Just watching that makes me feel like I've put in a stressful shift. I always imagined programs like that were put together in spacious glamourous offices with armies of people all working to a masterplan, and highly paid presenters being driven around in up-market cars. It's amazing how it came together on a daily basis without lots of timing and continuity problems. The technology today would make it a lot easier to distribute and edit the video but the editorial and content creation decisions are still the same.
Google/Apple maps (street view) shows the loft extension on no 41 Arnold Crescent has gone, it’s been extended and there is a room in the loft. It has a nice new roof now though. 10:50
Thanks for post , I think I watched this back in the 70s I'm glad I didn't go into broadcasting, as I've never seen such a collection of argumentative egos before. Sue Lawley was only in her late 20s when this was filmed, and apparently was known to have a lot of fun on location.
At 15:27 I was in that room on that day doing an interview on Sep 11 2001. Didn't take long to realise that the interview I was doing about some media topic would be totally irrelevant to the news that evening so we didn't even start. The whole world changed that day.
