Where else are ITV relocating too during the redevelopment - think Grays Inn Road was mentioned. I assume playout is having to relocate too.


Office stuff is being split between Chancery Lane and extra floors of GIR (which ITV already have 3 floors of, dating back to the Network Centre days when the tower was LWT/Granada).

Playout has been in Chiswick for nine years!

It a shame they going to knock down what was built for London weekend television Lwt was one of the best channels how itv is so very different now with what they call morden rubbish idents why keep building more flats leave the studios alone

Studios facilities do not equate to how idents look, okay - far from it.

Rolling Eyes 'if you read properly'
Quite difficult to work out your point with no punctuation to help the reader out, and the wrong spelling of 'there' which changes the meaning of what you are trying to get across.

It did read that you are were trying to link the idents to the rebuilding and multi-use of the TLS site.

I've now re-read your post properly, and I'm intrigued as to which of ITV's idents were filmed in Morden.

I take it Lambeth Council will use that money to stockpile so it can build more than just 13 in the area? Or it just be singler plot with a big sign saying with thanks to ITV?
