New Meridian Set - preview tonight!

Being new to the Forum, I have read with great interest the comments about the new format with Meridian.

Someone mentioned that it would be nice to get pictures of the old Larkfield studios... and I have.

The set has been dismantled and the whole unit is like a ghost town.

Should anyone want some pictures please reply. I being a bit of a steptoe, have a section of the old 1993 MT set (desk) on wheels in my house as we speak, (the one with the blue house lights), at a time when Meridian Tnght/News had a homely feel. Mike Debens once said to me that it was like broadcasting from a jar of marmalade. New set looks good though. Have seen plans of the new studios at Whiteley, and each regional studio is side on side. Totally different set up. Meridian will never be the same again. Another thing did anyone see the SE edition of Meridian News Trailer with Charlotte Hawkins. Bit of a muck up and not over complimentary to Ms Hawkins. They showed some rushes from a story regarding foxes, which abruptly paused and suddenly whoever ran the Capgen accidentally imposed a caption saying CHARLOTTE HAWKINS across the picture of the fox. Regional News wouldnt be regional news without the odd giggle!!! Very Happy
