BBC to leave iconic Maida Vale studios

I'm sure many of us have listened to lots of sessions that were recorded at Maida Vale.
Peel's sessions most notably.

Also, this is where the famous Doctor Who theme was recorded

... ... indeed. They should turn it into a broadcast musuem ... ...

I remember first hearing the name "Maida Vale" in connection with bands in session on Radio One, and (having never been to London) thinking that the DJ was saying "made of ale", which was either the least effective construction method ever or a reference to the amount of alcohol imbibed there.

TSOM's sessions for John Peel were recorded there, apparently (the 1984 one in Studio 5, fact fans). Amazing to think the Ric Rac is probably one of the only studios that TSOM 1980-1985 recorded at that is still operating.
