Prime Minister James Callaghan opened Oxford Road studios on 18 June, 1976. Some of the most innovative TV shows of the last 30 years were produced there.
Top of the Pops began life in Manchester. Sir Jimmy Savile remembers its beginnings. For the first three years, the programme was filmed at the Dickenson Road Studios, a converted church in Rusholme.
