And now they want to sell off something which is profitable and once it's sold, will no doubt milk us to pay the exorbitant rates they will be charged for use of the same facilities by the private equity purchaser....

Smudge, from the Good News Department, at least perhaps BBC recognizes they don't have the management skills to run a studio and the bean-counters calculated that anyone else can run Elstree better.

I wonder if someone in Arizona is buying it, chopping it up into quandrants and rebuilding it on the shores of Lake Gitchygoomee? I think they bought that, too.

I can't wait for the BBC to put themselves up for sale, calculating that they don't know how to run a network either.

LOL I could always buy it and rebuild it on the shores of the canal, as an annexe to Smudge Towers !

I suspect it's yet another cost cutting exercise which will cost more in the long term, like shipping their staff out to independent programme makers then being charged a fortune for films which are edited so as to cast aspersions about HRH
