I suspect the usual Birtian "solution":Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostDoes the BBC still have TV studios?
- BBC allows its internal programme makers to use non-BBC studios;
- Non-BBC studios undercut BBC studios;
- BBC mothballs own studios because they aren't being used;
- Non-BBC studios greatly increase rates once they have no competition from BBC studios;
- BBC Management proclaim tremendous victory for market forces whilst cutting programme makers due to exorbitant cost of hiring non-BBC studios.

2.5 hours each way. Is that all? Certainly beats my 3 hours of hell each way on the M62 in the driving rain and smog. Maybe London contracts are much more attractive than those "oop North".Last edited by Alf W; 7 December 2009, 23:05.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

I've been warned myself before so I don't feel bad having a go at you...Originally posted by Alf W View Post2.5 hours each way!! Well if that's the joys of contracting in London I'll keep my 20 minute commute down the lanes (and my clean country air) "oop North".
SHUT THE **** UP and stop letting the southerners know how good it is up North or they'll all be up here with their pearly ******* queens, pointless rhyming slang and shandy mixers and we'll lose those short commute times, vast swathes of gorgeous country side, cheap pints of lager and airports which don't need their own internal flight service to cross in a reasonable time.Coffee's for closersComment
