Are you talking to the ghost of GoldenTony? Dead on escalator at only 29, after breakfast price shock.

Can I just say I've never understood a single post Zetetic has ever made on this forum? All I got was 'Canary Wharf'. I'll try harder next time.

the telly company I used to work for was originally at the location where the big tower is now, & was famed in the 80s as the location of a show called 'network 7', amongst other things. perhaps not surprisingly, the company was called 'limehouse tv'.

after a brisk & huge CPO, limehouse tv moved into the old lee international studios at wembley, & also took up residence in rented space in the west end (the bit where I worked mostly).

there's a suspicion that the people who built the original studios knew all along that olympia & york had their eye on the site, & that there was a sizeable profit made with the compulsory purchase, part of which was to compensate clients who had to make their shows elsewhere for a brief period.

Network 7 was a fucking brilliant show! Others tried to copy the format as I recall, but never succeeded.

Everything on C4 Sunday mornings just went downhill after that. Admittedly I loved Dawson's Creek - first watched it with my then-girlfriend and smiled. Then she left me, and I shed tears to Eva Cassidy's cover of Fields of Gold and Mary Beth Mariaz (sp?) covering Daydream Believer.

After that I just remember the lovely Miquita Oliver, who I subsequently bumped into rather randomly at various raves and free parties - she seemed to love that scene, though I was saddened to hear her career lost its mojo around the same time.
