As Broadcasting House undergoes redevelopment to bring it into the 21st century, former managing director of BBC Radio, Sir David Hatch , takes a tour of this much loved and historic building to reveal the extraordinary part it has played in the history of radio. What is the surprise that Eric Gill left on the back of his famous statue above the entrance? Did George Orwell base Room 101 on the shady goings-on on the first-floor corridor? All will be revealed. Producer Alexandra Feachem
