From "Atvland" In Colour

Synopsis: This documentary, presented in a 2 disc set, tells the story of the affectionately known ‘ATVLand’ - the ATV Centre in Birmingham - from its beginnings to its ultimate closure in 1997, celebrating some of the great programmes that came from the studios throughout its working life.

The DVD includes a mix of rare archive footage of regional news and programming preserved at the Media Archive for Central England, much of which has not been seen since broadcast, as well as interviews, exclusive to the DVD, with those who worked at the centre, including Jim Bowen, Barbara Bradbury, Reg Harcourt, Peter Harris, Diana Mather, Wendy Nelson, Jane Rossington, Debbie Shore, Chris Tarrant, Shaw Taylor, Gary Terzza, Bob Warman and Jo Wheeler.
