The King's Speech BBC radio control room

The movie

We just saw The King's Speech today.  It is brilliant.  One of the most interesting scenes involved a BBC radio control room that broadcast the king's speech all over the British colonies.  Each of the dozens of "transmitters" along the wall had the name of a colony/territory on top, e.g. Australia, Bahamas. Apparently, the scene was shot inside the Battersea Power Station's control room.

The original.
