Big Brother’s New Home: Versa Studios Expands in London
Ah yes, the classic tale of expansion in the entertainment industry—almost as predictable as the plot twists on reality TV! UK-based Versa Studios has just snagged an extra 200,000 square feet of prime real estate right next to its existing Ealing location in West London. Now, before you roll your eyes at yet another studio expansion, let’s break down what this actually means for the world of television and the beloved chaos of Big Brother. With this new space, Versa is gearing up to house the long-standing reality behemoth, including its glitzy Celebrity edition and the nightly Big Brother Late & Live shows, which will continue filming at the original Versa London studio.
But wait, there’s more! This expansion catapults Versa’s total studio space across the UK to a whopping 600,000 square feet. That’s right, folks—this isn’t just any old studio; they’ve got facilities stretching from Manchester to Leeds. Just to give you a taste of the illustrious productions that have graced their lot, think Simon Cowell’s Walk The Line, alongside a buffet of BBC favorites like Morning Live and Friday Night Live.
Charlie Ingall, the Executive Director of Versa, emphasized that this expansion is no mere whim; it’s part of a grand strategy to make Versa the go-to destination for high-profile productions. In his words, they’re creating long-term homes for clients, which, let’s be honest, sounds a tad more glamorous than it probably is.
So, as we watch the latest season of Big Brother unfold, let’s give a nod to the studio that’s making it all possible—because if there’s anything we love more than reality TV, it’s knowing that the behind-the-scenes hustle is just as juicy as the drama we see on screen. Class dismissed!
