Who's In Town

Why it's the BBC Showcase, of course. Old favourites. They've been coming to Brighton every year since 1987. In fact, they had their first outing way back in 1976 when 25 foreign broadcasters and potential buyers met at the Old Ship Hotel to sample what BBC progs were available for shipping back home. Then it was the likes of Faulty Towers, The Good Life and Dr Who.

Yes, this is the bit of the BBC that sells BBC programming abroad. These days it takes place at the Brighton Centre and this week there are 524 buyers from 100 countries with 1500 hours of programming to choose from.

So, they sit in the Brighton Centre and watch tv?
