April 29th, BBC Tour

The BBC was the first national channel in England. We visited this place on the 29th of April. The BBC building was enormous. We were amazed !


Wwe were the first to visit the BBC. The visit started at 3.45pm and we went to the security room where we put our bags. When Simon passed under the security arc, it rang. It was just because he had a belt. After that the visit started. There was a woman and a man who explained to us the regulation to respect the people who work in it.
We went in the meeting room where we saw the editorial office. The man showed us the TV news on the board. We noted that the BBC controls all news.



Simon, the guide, who was very cool, showed us the studios of the BBC. We saw how the journalists work on their computers.

Then, we visited a room where we saw the BBC8's studios. It was very impressive and interesting. The studios were divided in different parts. And in each part, a scene was filmed.

We also saw the dressing rooms where the famous actors wait before the show. Simon told us some stories about them like Mariah Carey who wanted many baby dogs in order to have fun. There is also Jennifer Lopez who wanted her white sofa which was in her house in Paris. She didn't want to sit on the BBC's sofa.
Then, we took part in a quizz for which Sylvain, Félix and Benjamin were chosen to play. It was very funny ! Sylvain won a mug because his answers were correct. Clémentine presented the news and the weather forecast.

We also saw the TV studio, where the presenter introduces the show. Simon said to us that a lot of famous people come there and may be we would meet some celebrities but unfortunately, we didn't. One day, Simon, met Tom Cruise for example. « Lucky boy ! »
