The studio location of the presenters of Children's BBC in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Home to an assortment of glove puppets and young presenters (only one of each at any moment in time, it really was like a cupboard). Notable offenders who occupied the cupboard for a significant length of time were (in reverse chronological order):

Toby Anstis - now harrowlingly eeks out a living on cable channel Challenge TV.
Andi Peters - now officially out of the closet, Andi is now producing for Channel 4 and recently filmed a day in the life of Ricky Martin and Shipwrecked.
Andy Crane - moved to ITV's Bad Influence with Violet Berlin and until recently could be seen as a truly awful salesman on now defunct digital cable channel Shop!
Edd the Duck - loud, irritating, yellow and green puppet, mostly worked with Andy, Andi and Toby, quacked too much.
Philip Schofield - went on to present Going Live and now does work for the other side including such masterpieces as Talking Telephone Numbers.
Gordon the Gopher - larger, fluffier and cuter than Edd the Duck, Gordon sold more merchandise too. He had a fantastic miniature leather jacket and little trainers, and was also a puppet if you hadn't guessed.
