They mention that the broadcaster had previously been based in a converted cinema. Anyone know which one?

I think I've seen that in better quality somewhere. Anyway, to answer you question it was this one.

Thanks,Bob.

The only comment on that, from Peter Simpkin,reads:
Amazing place...I worked there when Southern TV arrived there as a trainee film assistant. Whilst there I worked with soon to be famous film director John Boorman. We broadcast the first News broadcast to be made from the car park!

Just a pity that the footage of the inside wasn't in that video, even though they said "We've seen the inside, now the outside.."
