I was not yet eleven and the tail end of junior school at the time (starting senior school in September). Takes me right back to a more innocent era without the intrusion of social media and cyber bullying, because I grew up before mobile phones were generally available!
Thanks for Posting this, preferred SWAP SHOP to TISWAS, I wrote to Swap Shop and received a signed Photograph of Noel Edmonds, John Craven , the Late Keith Chegwin (RIP Keith) and Maggie Philbin, loved Noel Edmonds in this, had also got Brown Sauce the Record.
Jack, BBC Television Centre produced some of the best British television ever made, and you just wanted to throw a whole of history away, just because it doesn't suit your own idealism. Come on Jack! I thought you liked studios. TVC was a superb place. Thankfully we still have three studios remaining operated by BBC Studioworks.
@@johnking5174 The only place I liked was the studio N2/TC10 up on the 6th floor that’s no longer there, the rest never really took my fancy, although years ago saw a number of shows at TVC, these days it’s lost it’s importance with BBC Studio Works and itv both renting leases, three studios and TC4 part scenery store, all the guts have been ripped out, nothing to do with the BBC, as they sold the the building to a developer, I Blair Ham & Fulham Council for giving the green light for demolition, very little of the place was Grade listed, let’s face it John, even the BBC said it was life expired!.
@@jacksugden8190 For me, I have very happy memories of Studio TC8. I got to see some sitcoms made in there. A great studio, one preferred by a lot of producers and directors. TC8 was located very close to the news area of TVC in the spur block.
@@johnking5174 Although the studio blocks were run down, I never forgave the BBC for selling and taking out a 30 year lease at NBH, and taking up two leases at Salford, now they’ve finance problems - tv licensing, programmes cancelled due to the Virus 🦠, presenters leaving, the BBC is slowly crumbling away John.
@@jacksugden8190 I know the BBC operate at Dock10 in Salford, but they don't own it, they simply hire out two or three studios there for children's TV. Yes, I agree, they should have never ever sold Television Centre. A friend of mine in New York likened it to NBC selling off their Rockefeller Center studios. In fact, CBS have done a BBC move. They have sold their iconic Television City in Los Angeles to a developer, and are now renting the studios from the developer. The only difference is, the Los Angeles developer had no plans to demolish the studios, all stages have been kept.

RIP Keith Chegwin (1957-2017) and RIP Eddie Large (1941-2020)..legends and both will be very much missed by everyone.
I remember watching this go out live. I was just seven at the time. Happy memories. RIP, Eddie Large.
Are so you must be 46 this year like myself.
I am therefore older than both of you, as I was not quite eleven and finishing junior school at the time. Now 52!
4 years younger than me! I remember Eddie Larges baggy trousers routine that
morning in 6. I wondered if suggs was watching it.

4:06 "Urrggh, what's that?!"
Haha! Just the way he said it, with genuine horror, made me laugh. Replayed it a few times.
Maggie was so lovely 😍
‘Little and Large’ as funny as a hernia
Al Da Keys don't be daft... A hernia is much funnier! Lol
As funny as diarrhoea in a space suit
There’s a lot of beige going on in that canteen. Liver sausage rolls indeed
When did the opening titles and theme tune change?
LOL this dancer Alison is hilarious!
Noel got changed before he went to see Little & Large
Did Keith Chegwin burp at 4.27?
first heard at 3:28
Think it might have been a sound effect or the cameraman has been drinking fizzy pop ,⁉️
0:19 Keith Chegwin & Maggie Philburn outside Studio 7
good H&S back in the 80s blocked emergency exit @9:03
WHEN KEITH AND MAGGIE WAS STOOD TALKING TO THE CAMARA YOU COULD HERE SOMEONE BURPING AT 3.28 JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW THE MICOROPHONES PICK STUFF UP
And at 4.30. Likely the camera operator!
"Foxy Feeling"
No natural light. No
Wonder everyone looks tired and dirty.
Grotyy old buildings at the old TVC, TC7 was gone, most of that rubbish is dust, should have pulled the lot down when the BBC sold it.
