The XL Association is open to the ex-employees of London Weekend Television, the ITV company which used to transmit programmes in the London Area, before being taken over by Granada TV, which in turn amalgamated with Carlton to form the present day ITV.
Communities secretary, Micheal Gove has given the all clear for Make’s £700m ITV Studios redevelopment - Feb 2024. I remember the building as new after London Weekend Television moving from its Wembley studios in 1968, did see some shows at LWT, The Rag Trade and Aspel & Co, struggling to remember, now in my late 60’s, did meet the late Dickie Davies from World of Sport, and watched the late Cilla Black in reception one afternoon.
24:03 Everything goes out of sync 🙄
I went pass the old LWT/ITV tower on 1st of June 2023 it's with be knocked down to make way a mixed used redevelopment
I walked past it today covered in scaffolding. Couldn’t believe the words Thames Television Studios were never taken down after the front of it was used to recreate the Today Show with the Sex Pistols. So it’ll brought to the ground as Thames Television not LWT or even ITV studios. Sad day that decision was ever taken by ITV to walk away from it
I was debating with myself if this old museum ever existed or whether it was a dream since it’s revamp
Michael aspel is 90th birthday on Thursday 12th of January 2023
LWT become ITV 1 on 27th October 2002
I remember Dickies Davis in world of sports on the Saturday lunch time in the seventies and eighties it will bring back memories sadly his passed away peacefully at the age 94 RIP
World Of Sport was proper Saturday afternoon
Went pass it in 2021 summertime when the tower and studio will be knocked down
Thank you for loading that it so sad that London weekend television tower and studio them it ITV studios tower and studio it now closed i remember do some programme such as upstairs downstairs world of sports GMTV Good morning Britain This morning Loose women ant and Dec Blind date the chaser and Game for a Laugh
Used to bring some good drama such as the Gentle touch the professional and Dempsey And makepeace
London weekend television RIP 1968-2002
It’s being demolished. Scaffolding is being erected. What will they build next?.
World Of Sport was my favourite. Seeing Dickie Davies and the typists reunited was awesome

What a shame "CHALLENGE OF A LIFETIME" didn't return for a second series.
ههههههههه

Studio 1: 8,350 Sq Ft. Studio 2: 7,271 Sq Ft. Studio 3: 3,136 Sq Ft. Studio 4: Continuity Studio. Studio 5: 2,268 Sq Ft. Studio 10: Small news studio. Those were the studios at LWT in 1991, 30 years ago.
Studio 5 was built as a rehearsal room later used for World of Sport
@@jacksugden8190 World of Sport was taken over by London Weekend Television when ABC Weekend Television lost their franchise come 1968. However Studio 5 wasn't up and ready until 1972 as LWT didn't move into their London Studios on the south bank until 1972.
Home of the stars well why close it then. Just like itv close regional tv stations down now close down this building Itv isn’t that good now , no regional stations like in other countries GMB Good Morning Britain Lorraine tThis Morning still going what a yawn fest its stale. no character in the channel anymore . Not as good as old itv
Saturday 29th December 2018; the later parts are missing. They could have emphasised more on the classic shows such as World of Sport, Hale & Pace etc; this is what gets my goat nowadays:- focus loads on daytime shows from recent years with little to no attention on classic shows from yesteryear. Agree?
Yes with LWT' s rich history going back to 1968 & their shakey start in the first 18 months, they could have given more time to the early shows & programmes- ok some were made at the old Rediffusion studios , but many went on to be made at Kent House after 1972 .
No sound
What happened to the audio after around 25 minutes of this video ? A very messy ending to what should have been a first class product, celebrating a wonderful studio complex, along with many memorable programmes !
what happen to after 24mins.4second the passed QC before transmission really!!.... so one need sacked for this
God i miss LWT shows on fridays...
r.i.p lwt (1968-2002)
The BIGGEST disgrace ever. These studios should NEVER have been closed down let alone demolished. Lee Grade, Sidney Bernstein - all those ITV pioneers would be turning in their graves to know ITV demolished every studio complex and then turned to the BBC for their studio facilities.
The sound fell off after 26 minutes...
Why did the studios close? And also it’s really sad because ITV planned to move back there after the studios had been rebuilt but now they’re not going to
most itv stars got ba phlls an oap now
ITV isn't returning to ITV Studios, it says in a statement in a newspaper says that ITV ditches plans to move back into South Bank headquarters"
I know that’s why I asked why they ditched the plans
@@evanslater4551 The financial advisers at ITV saw that it would cost much more to build three smaller studios and maintain a reduced presence at the South Bank site than it is to simply remain at Television Centre and continue to sublet Studios 2 and 3 there. Saves millions each year and so the decision not to return was taken. Does that help?
@@johnking5174 Yeah it does thanks. Didn't know it was going to only be three smaller studios. Why would they have done that?
Made me cry a bit
What a disappointing programme. No effort put into it and could have been and should have been much much better.
Can we see your programme?
@@AlanNobleNE Did you make this crap then?
Robert Comer lockdown getting to you?
Alan Noble lol good one Robert Comer do you have any respect for this building
@@etxha it's out of respect I made the comment. It should have stayed. Apart from Yorkshire, there are no original ITV studios still operating
Hadn’t been in that building since it was London Weekend Television, I remembered last watching Aspel & Co before the show ended in 1993, looking at some shows, it’s probably much earlier that 1993. I once met Dickie Davies before he went on air in World of Sport, that in the 80’s, saw Cilla Black in reception, how time has flown, read in a contribution magazine that the buildings staying, as itv can’t offered to demolish it, and builds see site, despite the council agreement, they will lease some of the studios, have to see what happens next.
From the moment I went into that building I felt like I was somewhere special regardless of whether I worked there or not Such a shame it’s going
It is such a shame. I feel like it really suits there and the southbank is such a nice place to walk down. They were planning to redevelop the site and ITV would move back there but they ditched the plans and sold it to a housing company which I think was a big mistake
That was me, sadly I fell off twice :(
When was this from?
Probably early 80's as there is still a London Weekend Production Facility
Looks like 1989.
Yep, '89 or '90.
I saw Janet Dibley four times in that clip, had seen some shows there many years ago as London Weekend Television, all that hype then, means nothing now after its intended demolition to take place in 2018, Lambeth Council giving the go ahead with 140 job losses, just like the rest of the television industry going to pot.
Even worse, ITV have announced that they are cancelling their plans to return to The London Studios - they will remain on Television Centre in a permanent occasion. It's sad knowing that London won't have any original TV facility anymore. Current Television Centre is a work of refurbishment, the Thames Television's studios were demolished, and now, about to be hit by a wrecking ball, the London Studios, which has been there since the 70s.
@@MondySpartan it's crazy demolishing TV history like this .The studios at Teddington Lock have history & memories going back to the early days of ITV & even to the pre war era!
The figures are really well done ....
but that day no one saw ella fall big hug miss we are busy
I've been in "Kent House" myself! I went to see a show that Chickenshed filmed in Studio 1 the largest! I loved it! Every time I see it , it always makes me think of LWT! I always call it Kent House too , not The London Studios!
I always imagined Bletchley to be less somehow that what you have seen but having just read a book about Enigma and Bletchley I do feel that I need to go there sometime soon. Thanks for the informative video.
OMG! You didn't tape the saw used to cut uxbridge's leg at Waterloo. And what about Napoleon's horse? They are the two most vital pieces in the museum.
