is to remain at the Drama Village in Birmingham. The loss of this show would have
been a severe blow to jobs and television production in the West Midlands. The BBC

stay in Birmingham; fully supports the decisions of the BBC’s Network Supply Review,
which confirmed that more investment is to be made in Birmingham and that the
centre’s current drama remit will be expanded; hopes that this heralds a new
commitment to television production in the West Midlands and that the future of the
BBC Drama Village at the University of Birmingham is now secure.
