Some fantastic photos of Bush House and it’s vintage equipment. Well worth a look.

End of an era. Change is inevitable, I suppose. But there's something very comforting about the imagined past of the BBC and its received pronunciation and charming stuffiness. There were negative aspects to it, of course. But I'd still prefer my newscasters not to perch on the edge of the desks and greet me with 'hi'.

Yes, the newer, ‘friendlier' face in a not so friendly world. Not buying it for a moment. :wink:
