	The Grove Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grove Family was a British television soap opera, generally regarded as the first of its kind broadcast in the UK, made and transmitted by BBC Television from 1954 to 1957.
		The series revolved around the life of the family of the title, who were named after the BBC's Lime Grove Studios, where the programme was made.
		In 1991, during a special day of programming transmitted on the BBC Two network to commemorate the closing of Lime Grove, a new edition of the programme was shown, a modern production of one of the original scripts with popular television soap opera actors of the day such as Leslie Grantham filling the roles.

		The BBC World Service is also available on the mainstream digital broadcasting platforms in the UK, as well as the Internet and shortwave radio, both of which can be received in many places across the globe.
		While the "footprint" of the Astra 2D satellite was smaller than that of Astra 2A, from which it was previously broadcast encrypted, it meant that viewers with appropriate equipment were able to receive BBC channels "free-to-air" over much of Western Europe.
		Consequently, some rights issues have needed to be resolved with programme providers such as Hollywood studios and sporting organisations, who have expressed concern about the unencrypted signal leaking out.

		As was usual at the time, Quatermass II was transmitted live from the BBC's Lime Grove Studios, with a certain amount of material pre-filmed on location and played into the live broadcasts as and when required.
		It should be noted that although the telerecordings mostly represent the programmes as originally broadcast, a handful of scenes were in fact re-shot and edited into the films for repeat broadcasts, possibly because the technical or acting quality of the original scenes was considered inferior.
		This was a full day of programming celebrating the history of the Lime Grove Studios, which had closed a month before and would be demolished two years later.

		The Palace was the home base of the channel until the early 1950s when the majority of production moved to the Lime Grove Studios, and then in 1960 the headquarters moved to the purpose-built BBC Television Centre at White City, also in London, where the channel is based to this day.
		They filmed the static-ridden output they got on their screen, and this poor-quality, mute film footage is the only surviving record of 1930s British television filmed directly from the screen.
		However, some images of programmes do survive in newsreels, which also contain some footage shot in studios while programmes were being made, giving a feel for what was being done, albeit without directly replicating what was being shown on screen.

		One of the first technological developments was receiving charts via a large fax machine saving forecasters the job of transporting their charts by hand to the BBC's studios.
		His main tools were pencils (and a rubber) for analysing the charts plotted by his assistant, and a pair of dividers for measuring isobar spacing to give wind speeds.
		In the studio, they stand in front of a blue-washed screen (green can also be used) for the presentation, and control the whole broadcast themselves, calling up pre-programmed graphics which are added to the TV picture by computer.

	The Trumptonshire Web - Andrew Brownfoot, Set Designer
		The 'Tin Shed' at Lime Grove studios was the home of 'The BBC Television Puppet Theatre' conveniently placed between the TV studios and the canteen, and it was here that all the preparation work for the production was carried out.
		When the transmission day arrived, the entire set up would be taken down, moved to a TV studio and re-erected ready for camera rehearsals, and finally, at 5pm the programme would be transmitted.
		I never worked in the series of standard tones of fl, greys and white, that for a while was employed by staff designers who wished to control completely the somewhat unpredictable effects of blue and red on the fl and white TV cameras, then in use.

		For all the lost coverage to the satellite channels, the BBC still covers sport with an integrity second to none (remember the Olympics and the World Cup qualifiers?).
		I recollect watching this award ceremony on our 12in walnut cabinet TV when it was screened in fl and white and on 405 lines from Lime Grove studios.
		It was moving to watch this sincere, humble and talented footballer thank everyone who has helped him from his manager and fellow team mates to his mum, gran and Victoria – not forgetting little Brooklyn who “watches every game”.
