BBC Scotland Reviews

Easy access. Staff very friendly. Studio nice n cool

Beautiful building and lovely people. Got a great tour of the building

Only used the cafe. Averagly over priced for this type of place. If you pretentious people, this is for you.

Had a great time watching filming of breaking the news.

Very helpful staff. Great being in the audience for recording

It's a beautiful building which provides fantastic content. I believe that tours of this building are available and as such would highly recommend attending.

There's always something going on there.

The concept of the building is amazing, a whole central space of the same width as the streets of Glasgow and used both for set and for meetings.

Giant and open spaces to work.

Nice modern building design. Very little to see inside (other than BAFTAs on the shelf).

Surprisingly good cafe which is open to the public.

Been a few times to see different tv shows recorded great to see some of how these shows are made

Watched Who Dares Wins as a free audience member. Would recommend it.

Breaking the News show is brilliant with Design Clarke.

I enjoyed the show I went to see but the organization of the audience was a shambles, being moved from studio to studio and no-one seemed to know what was happening.

They hosted us for a conference and the space was very good

Free tickets to the quay sessions online , what can I say best varied free live gig in Glasgow . Staff made it a great night with a professional and efficient service .
And nice to see behind the curtain of BBC programming and production .Highly recommend attempting to get tickets ... just try to avoid the 'Pillar of Doom' ( you will see or perhaps not lol) .
....Thanks guys all too short a might :))

Our tour made TV come alive and come out of the box!

Great place for the Quay Sessions or to catch a live show

Interesting to see how shows are put together only thing a lot of waiting around involved a pleasant night

Stunning night view from the bridge, windy cold night though

When traveling aboard, I always enjoy the BBC programing.

So good I go there nearly every day...even weekends.

Had a fantastic day watching Mrs Browns Boys. Bad for parking, but not far away from the train stop nr by. Would recommend using the train. The staff were brilliant. Anyone with a disability were extremely well looked after. The area around the docks was clean and tidy and lots of hotels nr by.

Cool building. Security are a bit up themselves. Really cool to watch something being made. Shame that the News output is so biased.

Brilliant from start to finish ..staff so polite and very helpful ...and watching paddy mcguinnes fantastic

Staff are always pleasant & helpful. Ticket process is easy & free tickets, what's not to like?

Attended for the audience for an admittedly free show with tickets obtained through the BBC random draw on their website.

After being texted that morning to change the start time to half an hour later we arrived to find that had been in error and we were at the back of the queue. We were then told that despite there being in excess of 50 people in front of us, the studio was already at capacity and everyone was now being put in a screening room to watch it on a large screen. After waiting for another 40 minutes and eventually getting to the front of the queue we were then told that they had overbooked to the point of filling the viewing room also and that we could not even get in there! We were given the option of sitting in the foyer for the next few hours in the hope that someone else decides to leave their seat - strangely enough we declined this generous offer.

This whole episode was frustrating enough for us having got the subway to the studio etc. and out off other plans for this event. However the poor people in front of us had paid for a train from Dundee and booked a hotel for the evening in Glasgow - purely to see this show. They were advised they would not be getting any compensation for this.

I understand the premise of overbooking to ensure the studio is full, but to overbook to the extent that you cannot even accommodate everyone in their viewing room (with what was essentially a large TV) is an utter joke.

Wonderful use of our license fees I don't think...

Been to a couple of recordings always a good experience.

Show recording excellent. Most of toilets closed when show finished which was not good as very long queues, sitting for a couple of hours during recording and over an hour drive ahead of us - we had to queue for a long time. Open the other toilets and you can get rid of us quicker.

Strange internal design. Hollowed out.. ..just like the BBC

Went to a few quay sessions, as it s held in the canteen the view could be limited but the sound was amazing.

Quay sessions...great live music...amazing venue although be prepared to pay a fortune for parking

If you get a chance to get tickets for here then jump at it.

First time i had been to a recording staff were very friendly enjoyed full experience...

Its a mysterious place.. lots going on within but a calmness throughout

Had a great time with my 9 year old girl at the filming of the dog ate my homework

Had great fun at the recording for ready steady cook

A good meeting place and with a Costa coffee shop in the public reception area too. Tours are available (bookable in advance).

Really great. The staff are so friendly. It was good to see how recordings are done.

Although the BBC Scotland website states they are open 24hrs, Monday to Sunday, this is apparently not so! I called to query a problem I had booking the BBC tour online, only to be told by a security guard to call back tomorrow!

Very interesting visit to this 24/7 broadcasting complex.

Was there to see a show being filmed. Staff very friendly, the warm up guy 'Mark' was great. As was Mrs.Brown. the only gripe was the cramped seating.

Small cafe inside served a variety of hot and cold food

Very well looked after by the whole team at the studio whilst participating as contestant on a game show. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and the catering was great too.

Great to attend recordings, go on the tour or just hang out and have a coffee and some food.

Dog Ate My Homework is brill!
Ian Stirling is hilarious!!!

Shows are good but you do wait a while to get seated. It's quite regimented, if you happen to need the toilet during a show you have to put up your hand up and be guided out. Also told when to laugh.! Small area for coffees & snacks( hot & cold)..Good to see how recordings are done

1st visit waited 2hrs for admission. 2nd visit better, but asked for aisle seat and was told just to sit where I was ushered to in middle of row. Very uncomfortable as have problems with my legs

Great day out for Mrs Brown's, could go with sorting out parking though.

Need to assess their audience logistics before sending out invitations.

Just back from dog ate my homework kids and myself loved it seen it two week ago.all we need now is tickets to see mrs browns boys xxx

Went to recording of Who dares wins great night

Quay sessions. Beware of the pillars. Surely there is a better way to lay out the chairs so everyone can see both stages?
