  • The Paris Theatre (also known as the Paris Studios) was originally a cinema located at 12 Lower Regent Street in central London which was converted into a studio by the BBC for radio broadcasts requiring an audience. It was used for several decades by the BBC as the main venue for comedy programmes broadcast on BBC Radios 2 and 4. The venue had a capacity of under 400 and a stage roughly twelve inches from the floor, giving it an intimate feeling helpful for radio comedy with an audience. Shows recorded there included panel game shows such as I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, comedy such as Hi Gang!, Dad's Army, The Goon Show, Don't Stop Now - It's Fundation and non-audience shows such as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In addition to comedy, the BBC recorded many of the dramatical broadcasts by Raymond Raikes as well as by musical artists including acts such as T. Rex, David Bowie, AC/DC, Badfinger, the Beatles, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen 1968, Shakin' Stevens, Family, Streetwalkers, Jeff Beck, Deep Purple, Slade, Hawkwind, Status Quo, Sad Café, Dr. Feelgood, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Queen, Pink Floyd, Nazareth, Barclay James Harvest, Rod Stewart, Simple Minds, the Screaming Blue Messiahs, Ultravox, the Pretenders and the Wailers. Some of these performances were recorded in front of live studio audiences as part of the In Concert and Sounds of the Seventies series, and several of these acts have subsequently released tapes of sessions recorded at the studio, such as Led Zeppelin's BBC Sessions album. It was also the London home of the BBC's Radio 1 Club in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Paris Theatre closed in 1995, being replaced by the BBC Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House. The closure was marked with a commemorative concert and broadcast of the last show ever to be recorded at the theatre, namely the final show in series two of The Skivers. David Bowie recorded one of his final live recordings there in 2000 deemed to be one of his finest performances. (en)
  • Paris Theatre (также известный как Paris Studios) — бывший кинотеатр, расположенный на Риджент-стрит в центре Лондона, впоследствии переоборудованный в студию компании Би-би-си для трансляции радиопередач перед живой аудиторией. В течение нескольких десятилетий эта студия использовалась Би-би-си в качестве основного места проведения комедийных программ, а также трансляция для радио BBC Radio 2 и 4. Зал был рассчитан менее чем на 400 зрителей — его сцена располагалась примерно в двенадцати дюймах от пола, что придавало происходящему интимности, полезной для радиокомедий с живой аудиторией. Среди шоу, записанных в этой студии, фигурируют телевикторины, такие как I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, комедийные постановки — Hi Gang!, Dad’s Army, The Goon Show, Don’t Stop Now - It’s Fundation и научно-познавательные передачи, наподобие The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Помимо комедийных шоу, на студии записывали выступления различных музыкальных исполнителей. Так, в разные годы в Paris Theatre выступали: T. Rex, AC/DC, Badfinger, The Beatles, Дэвид Боуи, Леонард Коэн, Шейкин Стивенс, Family, Streetwalkers, Джефф Бек, Deep Purple, Slade, Hawkwind, Status Quo, Sad Café, Dr.Feelgood, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Джеймс Тейлор, Джони Митчелл, Queen, Pink Floyd, Nazareth, Barclay James Harvest, Род Стюарт, Simple Minds, The Screaming Blue Messiahs, The Pretenders и The Wailers. Некоторые из этих выступлений были записаны перед живой студийной аудиторией в рамках серий In Concert и Sounds Of The Seventies, и некоторые из этих выступлений впоследствии были выпущены на плёнке в виде самостоятельных релизов, к примеру BBC Sessions группы Led Zeppelin. Также, в конце 1960-х — начале 1970-х в этом здании располагался Radio 1 Club радио Би-би-си. Студию закрыли в 1995 году, после официального переезда BBC Radio Theatre в здание Broadcasting House. Закрытие было ознаменовано юбилейным концертом и трансляцией последней серии шоу The Skivers. (ru)
