URGENT - T.I.E. United Kingdom locations - Timeline

[Richard Neil Wright]

Hi Everyone,


I am currently doing some urgent research into the operations of T.I.E. and T.I.E. (sales) within the UK.


1) Can anyone on this forum give any information on where T.I.E. offices / storage facilities where based in the UNITED KINGDOM between 1976 through to 1999.  Any street name or exact address would be helpful.  Any internet links / sources would also be useful - But if anyone has any first hand knowledge this would be much better.  Please post on this thread or send me a private message!

2) Did any other companies other then T.I.E. have the rights to distribute any BBC material pre 1990?

3) When T.I.E. distributed programs on film did they use there own film can label or the standard BBC label?

4) Would T.I.E. have been supplied with positive prints only or would they have been supplied with a negative copy of a program?

5) Did the T.I.E. offices hold film prints or did they use a different location as a film archive?


Thanks in Advance!
- Richard

Probably something best done privately by PM, I would think!

Presumably after primary operations were shut down around 1976 or so, the office would have reverted back to 100 Westminster Bridge Road, moving to 85 Vauxhall Cross in 1995.

Thanks Nicholas - the second address is what I was looking for!

Can you confirm that T.I.E. stopped as a company in 1999? and that the Vauxhall Cross address was the last location for the company?

Also - a very important question.... Would the film archive been at the same location as the office or did they have a 2nd storage location which may have been within a few of miles of the Vauxhall Cross address?

Any info. on anything to do with T.I.E. between 1995 and the closure in terms of locations would be welcome.

Thanks, Richard
