As I recall from colleagues who were around during the fire, one of them quickly grabbed as many tapes as they could and ran out of the building with them. I think some also survived the fire.
I may not have this exactly right, but I recall them saying that for a period they were running tapes up and down the A1 to get content on air from one of NTL's (now Arqiva) facilities.
Hi Orry (Edd here)
you are correct - we courier IMX tapes for a few weeks until the old OB truck arrived in the car park to take over (before portacabin city was built).
