Also Lime Grove was famously an absolute dump which was falling to bits, stank to high heaven and everyone got lost no matter how many times they went there, but everyone who worked there had fond memories of it and it produced some of the most famous and popular telly ever. So who cares what the outside is like?
On that subject, where was the building used in 'The Hour' for BBC Lime Grove, and how authentic were the interior shots ?
I thought the studio was far too 'light and airy', they're not like that now, let alone in the late 1950s !
Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End (North London) was used (interiors too apparently!)

I go past that every day and yet managed to not see any filming at all...
They also slagged the Museum of Liverpool though which I think is lovely.
