Blue Peter Trip

Yesterday we went on our very first uni trip to Media City in Salford to have a behind the scenes look at Blue Peter and have a talk from those in charge of set design and lighting. That was also accompanied by a tour of the studios that Dock 10 own and hire out to channels like the BBC and ITV, along with the galleries and edit suites.

Having grown up watching Blue Peter, it was nice to be able to visit the studio. However, it wasn't the same studio that I was used to watching and I was surprised at just how small it really was. We went the day before the live shoot (which was aired tonight) as they were redoing the set ready.

I watched that episode of Blue Peter today and I don't know whether it's just the fact that I've got older but they don't make it like they used to and wasn't the same for me unfortunately.
