With the imminent BBC departmental move to Manchester. BBC Manchester is opening it's doors to give the public an insight into what goes on 'behind the scenes'.
What will basically become a new Manchester tourist attraction. I for one will be looking forward to getting a glimpse into seeing how the BBC puts it's television and radio shows together. I've often talked about the early 90's fun that was had at the Granada studios tour. Where you could see the sets of Coronation Street, watch actors in the house of commons and i think there was even a fair ride??? (answers please). The site still exists with most of the attractions still there. And it's a wonder the tour has not reopened as i'm sure it will attract many visitors.
Visitors to the BBC tour will have the opportunity to present a weather show or even record a radio drama with sound effects. And they may even get the possibility of bumping into Gordon Burns!!
The tours start on the 28th January, and is a welcome addition to the Manchester tourist attractions.
