Just watched the farewell programme and feeling incredibly sad and angry at the stupidity of the decision to sell it. On Wednesday I walked around the mostly empty studios and dismantled facilities I used to work in and remembered what an incredibly creative place it was. Rented offices and studios hired from a developer, as in Salford now and Wood Lane in a couple of years, simply won't have the same critical mass.

It is like selling off the Royal Opera House and the National Theatre.
