Blackley church members took their seat in the spotlight.

A group of 40 people from Blackley Baptist Church visited the BBC studios.

The church members visited Salford Quays Media City for a tour of the other BBC – the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Divided into two groups, they were given a guided tour of various studios including the Breakfast Studio and BBCSport.

Jean Whitworth and Joe Braithwaite read autocues in the Breakfast studio, and Philip Smith gave the weather forecast.

The outing was organised by Guy Hirst of the ABC group, and Marjorie Upson thanked everyone concerned.
