Shame the old studio is gone. I used to go to Teddington Secondary modern, known colloquially as Broom Road School, mid 60's to early 70's. Often used to see Sue Stranks filming some Magpie footage out on the road. Later in life I worked for quite a few of the producers and directors that worked there. Benny Hill lived fairly close and used to see him out and about at times too.

Wow! Does that happen a lot around there, or is this year an exception?

Just found out, back in 2010 went to see the new version of Reggie Perrin being made there, such a treat to go there. Real historic place, Tommy Cooper, Morecambe and Wise to name but a few. Very sad.

Fab! 👌 x

So lovely to see it all again.

Gorgeous Ged. Nice piano too!

Now can we see Teddington Lock , rather than the river either side of it please?

I remember watching my favourite childhood channel when it was presented at that studio. Nostalgia

That is a wonderful video and I'll link to it in a walk I writing.

Very good, hypnotic....

Shere was the home of John Hopgood, an R.A.F. pilot who was killed with most of his crew on the 'Dambusters' raid in 1943. Hopgood would have been 100 in 2021.

I used to work at the studios , heartbreaking to see this 😢😢

Flats for RUSSIANS & CHINESE not for locals

Omg they demolished the studios?.. I never knew that 😳😭

Good shots of the foxes

I once went there to see a fake show, turned out to be This is your Life with Eamonn Andrews, can’t remember his guest, too long ago, it was Thames Television then, now nothing, not been back to Teddington in over 30 years.

This footage was NOT taken in the Flying Field. The drone operator is standing by Beverley Brook just across from Roehampton Gate car park, i.e. 600m from the Flying Field. Therefore this footage is in breach of Royal Parks regulations.

Oh my.....this is a shock. I don't live in London anymore but my late mother used to work at the BBC and then got head-hunted to work at Teddington, firstly for Associated British Corporation (ABC) and then when it became Thames Television. So many happy memories: Mum used to take me into work with her during school holidays but I was under 14 (or was the age limit 16?) so could only watch rehearsals and dress rehearsals, not allowed in to live audience shows! So sad that those shiny-floored corridors are no more that I pattered up and down on. The wonderful prop store. The "modern" (for then!) canteen, the dozens of offices, art departments, scene stores, rehearsal rooms and the large boat that was moored at the jetty and was used for occasional hospitality. The Anglers pub next door where actors and crew would enjoy a pint or three. It was a magical place. Meeting Eric & Ernie and Tommy Cooper (so tall!) and sitting in the cosy darkness of the studio galleries. Watching "Bless This House", run-throughs of "Opportunity Knocks" and "The Kenny Everett Show" and begging to be let in to see the "Magpie" set because everyone seemed so cool! Many years later I applied to do technical training as I wanted to be a sound engineer. The course never materialised because Thames' days were numbered. I went elsewhere but the memories of Teddington are strong and fondly remembered.

I would rather have heard the Benny Hill theme. This is far too irritating.

Thanks for this birds eye view . I now intend to explore the river by paddle board.

You must be a taxi driver!? You went the long way!

Nice music I will have to fly my drone over there! Or mayb some drone fishing!?

New apartment blocks nearly finished now.

I live just up the road , one of my favourite places in the world. it is so different throughout the different seasons.

Goed uitgezocht...Ik waan me reeds daar. ... L.

Where is The flying field (what is the nearest gate) and is there a sign that says drones and rc planes permitted here. I am going by foot

Well, I think it was worth destroying a huge part of Teddington's (and by extension, Great Britain's) history, so that some fucking Singaporeans can build some condos.

Too scared to fly over the site or something? Give us a proper up-close look!

Good thing I got to see the studios in 2004!

I think this beach is called "Megano". Very good, indeed! There is one more, even more beautiful, it's called "Ensenachos".

Amazing scenes. Sunlight on the water, the sand, the tranquil water. The music...

Good thing I went to see it in 2004.

u know your ghost is friendly when it cleans your shit

I thought you were going under the bridge

Nice one Ged. Like the sound track too.

Opposite you and the wear is my daughters gym. Was there last week. Great pub on the end of the footbridge also. Great vid, keep em coming ( I'm in Northumberland )

Stunning, I grew up here - thank you :)

Looks like Les Ferdinand's been busy again. I used to do a bit of droning up there myself.

Sensory overload for a Magpiean! Major memories of friends and the best of jobs.

Why does it say video not available when it is? Very annoying!

Great feedback, thanks!

Thank you for this video! I grew up in Formentera and lived there for 16 years. I am living in Germany since 2011. My dad and me wached the video together, it brought up a lot of memories and it was nice to see my home lsland again!

He is just too cute and a tad crazy bless him

Nice one Ged!
