An incomplete history of London’s television studios

Welcome to my website.  I’m a recently retired lighting director and over my long career I worked in most of London’s TV studios – many of which sadly no longer exist.  I have also lit shows in a number of studios around the rest of the country.

Originally a BBC staffer, I went freelance in 2002 and began to ask a few colleagues with many years’ experience what they remembered of the good old times in the studios I was now working in.  For my own benefit really, I started to explore further using the Internet and a number of out of print publications.

In 2006 I created this website, which was updated with new software in 2021.  Initially there were many omissions and plenty of errors but thanks to people contacting me, these have been gradually corrected over the years.  I am still very much welcoming any comments and, of course, corrections and additions.  About  350 people have contributed so far and I am greatly in their debt for taking the trouble to write or talk to me.
