Goodbye CaB Centre.

General sadness has greeted the news that the world-famous CaB Centre is to be demolished. For the past many years, it has acted as Britain's best-loved depository for wit, chat, light entertainment and mild scatology, drawing in an estimated 24 million viewers during its 1970s heyday.

Situated in the grounds of Crinkley Bottom, London, the building's Studio 8½ is famed for playing host to such favourites as Waxwork 'Allo 'Allo!, a screencap from the 'Yuppie Love' episode of OFAH and unending vitriol directed towards Ricky Gervais. Indeed, while Gervais has had the good nature to take part in a special show commemorating the building, it was recently revealed that it is he who bought the grounds. He plans to replace it with a huge, diamond encrusted mansion. From now on, CaB will operate out of various regional facilities around Britain.
