The view from my kitchen window. (Other television studios are available.) |
From my kitchen window I can see both the
BBC offices in the adjacent building and the ITV offices across the canal (the
giant Coronation St. sign is quite hard to miss). There are two
different museums less than ten minutes’ walking away, and a Costa right
outside my front door. The nearby plaza is populated, in the mornings at least,
by people walking determinedly while wearing lanyards. In the evening, these
same people sip beer against a backdrop of city lights. It is my first week in
Manchester’s MediaCityUK, the first time I’ve lived outside my home city of
Nottingham and, more to the point, my first week of training at a new IT consultancy job.
