We are returning to the BBC by popular request, as many of our members voted it among the most interesting trips they had been on. So, if you missed out last time, here is another opportunity. We visit some of the studios that are not in use for recording or rehearsing. If you have always wanted to read the news or broadcast the weather forecast – off the cuff, as the professionals do – here is your chance (not live!).
The most exciting part of the visit is looking down on the huge state-of-the-art newsroom, familiar to us from our TVs. Here there are people scurrying round with messages from the news teams who collect the international reports as they come in. Inevitably there is a certain amount of walking, but a pleasant café on site serves nice snacks and drinks.
Cost: £24
