BBC Experience
( Worth Seeing ) If you have ever wondered just what went on behind the scenes at the British Broadcasting Corporation, here is your chance to find out. Most of the guided tour looks at great moments in recent British history from the perspective of the 'Beeb', which was born in London in 1922. However, the most satisfying aspects are those where the visitors are personally involved. You can take part in a three-minute radio play (either as an actor or as a sound-effects controller), read the weather, direct the camera action, experiment on a sound desk, be interviewed on Desert Island Discs or play with umpteen other clever hands-on television- and radio-related stations. One for BBC fans rather than casual overseas visitors.
