I wouldn't know what this place is like!! My frien...

I wouldn't know what this place is like!! My friend who got the (free) tickets to be in the 'laugh recorder audience' (we were to watch a pre-recorded programme and they would record our laughter to dub in later!) forgot to tell me they'd asked for us to take photo ID. I had therefore not taken any with me.
After queueing for some considerable time, they wouldn't let me in despite my having a photo is my passport page on my phone and us having the print-at-home tickets they'd sent us.


Moral of the story? If you're visiting the BBC for ANY reason, make sure you have photo ID on you!!!
