Rob BeckettHOST
And what, what time are you getting there? Where's your hotel? Is it nearby?
Josh WiddicombeHOST
No, it's in Elstree.
Rob BeckettHOST
Oh, God.
Rob BeckettHOST
You're really coming into town.
Rob BeckettHOST
Go straight to the...
Rob BeckettHOST
But no bags
Josh WiddicombeHOST
I'm, I'm bagging, I'm sending my bags to Elstree.
Rob BeckettHOST
Right.
Jay RaynerGUEST
I wasn't very good.
Jay RaynerGUEST
I was sent to, not really, I was sent to a fee-paying school, Haberdasher's School for Boys, Elstree, which turned out a lot of comedians, Sacha Baron Cohen, Dave Baddiel, Matt Lucas, all of those.
Jay RaynerGUEST
But I was always seen as a bit of a dullard.
Jay RaynerGUEST
There's a particular teacher, his name's Michael Lompria.
Amanda MurrayVOICE_ACTOR
was a long time ago.
Vincent PriceNARRATOR
At Elstree, wasn't it?
Amanda MurrayVOICE_ACTOR

I strangled you, Jane.

Bruce BeebeVOICE_ACTOR
Hmm.
Bruce BeebeVOICE_ACTOR
I can imagine.
Bruce BeebeVOICE_ACTOR
It must be a far cry from Elstree to Bermagui.
Bruce BeebeVOICE_ACTOR
Don't drag all that up, Rosmark.
Tom AllenHOST
And you told your wonderful story about how you met Barbara Streisand.
Tom AllenHOST
You worked there at Elstree, I think.
Andrew NormanGUEST
Yes, it was a rather heady summer, actually, because I was doing eight shows a week in the West End with Angela Lansbury.
Andrew NormanGUEST
Then I was bipping up to Elstree to work with Barbara Streisand.
Andrew NormanGUEST
And in fact, they were having to make the calls very early at ATV Elstree so that we could get back and do our matinees.
Tom AllenHOST
Oh,
Andrew NormanGUEST
my.
Andrew NormanGUEST
She said, well, that's why I did the picture.
Laurie PetersHOST
But those walls are kind of cardboard, isn't it? So she'd be punching into the, like, production set, the cameraman.
Terry MynottHOST
Elstree into another set.
Terry MynottHOST
Filming the latest Star Trek.
speaker_1VOICE_ACTOR
Wait! Wait! I'm going to eat that! Sausage rolls! I can smell
Richard OsmanHOST
They were ab- they were always flown out to wherever [laughs] it was.
Richard OsmanHOST
They'd flown up from our little studio in Elstree out to the VMAs and then back to us again, yeah, with, uh, with every bit of absolutely unrepeatable gossip that, uh, is possible to have.
Marina HydeHOST
Okay.
Marina HydeHOST
Question from Lucy Mae about The, The Masked Singer.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So we've got to gain some characters.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
And they're fully established at Elstree now.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So what they're doing now is they're using video for location work rather than film.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So whereas before you'd have the film quality of film outside, then they'd go to the studio and be on video and you could see the difference.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
Anyone that's a TV nerd knows the difference of it.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
Now we're basically using video for everything.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So you're using the Neptune House building at Elstree.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
You've got lots and lots of spaces around the various buildings.
Daniel FordHOST
The glasses are designed to look like regular sunglasses or spectacles, but have been criticized as an invasion of privacy because they allow users to discreetly film and take pictures.
Daniel FordHOST
Haberdasher Boys' School in Elstree, Hertfordshire, which was founded in 1690, has told parents that smart classes will not be permitted on school grounds under a policy coming in during the new academic year.
Daniel FordHOST
Woodbridge School in Suffolk banned smart classes in a policy that came into force in July.
Daniel FordHOST
while the 475-year-old Shrewsbury School in Shropshire wrote to parents in November to say the glasses should not be worn.
Dave MoorHOST
Early school exteriors used Kingsbury High School, Wilson High School and Holborn College in London, with interiors at BBC Television Centre.
Dave MoorHOST
Production then moved to BBC Elstree in Boreham Wood in 1985, a place I know very well.
Dave MoorHOST
I spent literally half my life there.
Dave MoorHOST
And actually, Neptune House, which was the backdrop of Grange Hill at Elstree, then went on to feature as Holby City Hospital.
Dave MoorHOST
There you go.
Dave MoorHOST
Very multifaceted, talented location.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
They're talking about the merger.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
Because obviously, I assume using my TV brain, behind the scenes, they knew they were going to be moving from TV Centre to Elstree at some point.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So they've introduced this idea that there's probably going to be a merger between three of the schools.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
We'll get to why that makes no sense later.
18 MINS LATER
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So it's an interesting year behind the scenes.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
The three-way merger plot is going to happen now in the show.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
So it's a good reason to get ready for the move to Elstree.
Dan HollingsworthGUEST
And of course...
