[Tech1] H is for History

[John Henshall]

The  early 1950s TRANSMISSION sign from BBC Studio H Lime Grove, rescued from the skip when the studio was being converted into a sound dubbing suite (late 1960s?) Now in its new case, backlit by a LED striplight. A piece of real televisual history from the days when television was always 'live'. 'In Town Tonight' was one of the programmes which came from Studio H before it became the experimental colour studio after Alexandra Palace.

Can any of you knowledgeable sound guys who weren’t still at school back then throw any further light on Studio H please?Other programmes from H? What was the sound dubbing studio called? (Sypher?) When did it actually open? I want to put a label on the back of the sign with all the details for posterity.

Thanx
John
