Pebble Mill at One
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pebble Mill at One was a popular <citation needed> British afternoon chat show broadcast originally on BBC2 before transferring to BBC One. It was produced from the Pebble Mill facilities of BBC Birmingham, and uniquely was hosted from the centre's main reception area rather than a traditional studio. The reason for this was that a planned third studio was never constructed at the site and existing facilities were fully-booked for network drama production and local news. The show ran from 1972 to 1986.
Pebble Mill at One (imaginatively so named because it was broadcast from Pebble Mill and aired at 1pm) was then one of few daytime magazine programmes, hence its popularity at the time. Presenters included Jan Leeming, Donny MacLeod, Fern Britton, Marian Foster, Debi Jones, Bob Langley, Magnus Magnusson, Alan Titchmarsh, Josephine Buchan and Paul Coia.
The format returned in 1988 as Daytime Live, renamed Scene Today and finally Pebble Mill.
