After we finished up our tour in Westminster Abby we broke for lunch and all met at the BBC Studios main headquarters where "all the magic happens". The BBC is made up of seven floors of news room employees. There are over 2,000 people set up in a circular room where they work with news through T.V, media and online. It is the biggest broadcasting station in the world. The first broadcast was in 1922 and about 80% of the news is planned news; journalists write about 80% of their own scripts as well.

We learned that the building is in the shape of a big question mark and I think my favorite part of the tour was when we got to see the dressing rooms for celebrities and all the dirty stories about celebrities being difficult and demanding; it was nice being able to hear that most celebrities are fun and easy to get along with. It was definitely a tour geared to the Media Studies majors but I learned a lot of PR stuff as well. To wrap up the tour we were able to put on a game show to see what it was like to be in front of the camera as well as behind it helping with the scenes and such.

This was a good day that ended on a high note. I learned a lot about so many versatile things but it all plays into the history of London which I'm still desperately all trying to remember and retain considering before I came here I didn't know very much about this country besides the basics.
