Gravity Media, a global leader in production, content, media services and facilities, has deployed a state-of-the-art remote production gallery to support ITV Studios’ MultiStory Media programming at its new Covent Garden facility in London. The solution will enable the production and broadcast of 900 hours of live daily programming each year across three flagship shows: Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.

The new studio, which launched in January 2026, features a 360-degree set with LED walls designed for rapid turnarounds between shows. Production has been built with sustainability at its core: a single, high-specification remote gallery produces and broadcasts all three live daily programmes, as well as additional productions outside of MultiStory Media transmission, significantly reducing the need for onsite infrastructure and travel.

The remote production infrastructure includes approximately 45,000 metres of video, audio, SMPTE, data and fibre cabling, supporting 13 technical equipment racks and nine wall boxes across 34 camera positions. Together, this creates a resilient, future-ready infrastructure that enables flexible remote production from day one.

Gravity Media’s Remote Production service uses high-bandwidth, low-latency fibre, satellite, broadband and mobile network technologies to transmit footage in real time to Gravity Media’s Production Centre in White City, where engineering, editorial and creative teams enhance content for final delivery.

Phase 2 of the project, launching later in 2026, will build on this foundation by adding advanced graphics and finishing capabilities, supporting the delivery of even more premium, visually compelling broadcasts to ITV’s audiences.

Kate Rendle, Director – Global Sales Director at Gravity Media commented:

“Remote production allows us to deliver the broadcast quality ITV’s audiences expect, while reducing environmental impact and operational costs. By centralising production, we can manage multiple live feeds, maintain high technical standards and build greater resilience into daily live production.”

Gravity House is thrilled to announce the successful completion of offline post-production for The Gold Series 2, with the final stages of the finishing process now underway. Following the BAFTA-nominated success of Series 1, this follow-up continues the gripping, factual drama based on the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery and the incredible aftermath that unfolded.

Gravity House played host to The Gold production and editing team for the assembly and fine cuts of all the upcoming Episodes. Fully supported by Gravity House, the team were based across four Avid suites for a 34 week long run.

The Gold will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for its second season, continuing the critically acclaimed story inspired by one of the most notorious heists in British history. The first series captured the attention of 8.7 million viewers for its debut episode, ranking it among the UK’s top five most-watched new dramas of the year across all platforms.

In Series 2, the plot intensifies as the police realize that the criminals convicted in the robbery had only recovered half of the stolen Brink’s-Mat gold. This season delves deeper into the mystery of what happened to the other half and the vast criminal fortunes it generated. Viewers can expect a tense exploration of international money laundering, organized crime, and high-stakes manhunts as the police push forward in one of the longest and most expensive investigations in the history of the Metropolitan Police.

Neil Forsyth, writer and executive producer, shared his excitement: “I am delighted that we have been given the opportunity to tell the rest of the Brink’s-Mat story. The consequences of the robbery continue to unfold in surprising, dramatic, and far-reaching ways, both in Britain and around the world.”

Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, added: “Millions of viewers were captivated by the gripping exploration of the Brink’s-Mat robbery in Series 1, and we’re thrilled to partner with Neil Forsyth and the team once again to continue this extraordinary story.”

Production Credits: The Gold Series 2 was commissioned by Lindsay Salt and is produced by Tannadice Pictures in association with All3Media International. The series is written by Neil Forsyth, directed by Patrick Harkins, with Charlie Leech returning as producer. Executive producers include Neil Forsyth, Ben Farrell, and Nick Lambon for the BBC.

Stay tuned for the highly anticipated return of The Gold—coming soon to BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

As Zubak’s influence over the chancellor continues to grow, Elena’s attempts to expand her power eventually result in both the palace and the country fracturing around her.

Dat dromen uitkomen bewijst het verhaal van Verena Hoogerheide. ‘Voordat ik bij EMG kwam werken stond Expeditie Robinson al op mijn bucketlist. En nu is het de waarheid!’ Voor de tweede keer bereidt de hoofdassistent zich voor om naar het tropische eiland af te reizen.

‘Waar ik het meeste zin in heb? Er zijn 40 pallets materiaal onderweg, die gaan we allemaal uitpakken en onze uitgifte inrichten om dan gezellig met iedereen de productie te gaan draaien.’ Verena trekt met de operationeel assistenten kabels vanaf een regietent op het strand naar de camera’s zodat de regisseur kan zien wat er gebeurt. Ook zorgt ze er met het team voor dat de action camera’s in de spelsituaties hangen en synchroon met elkaar lopen. Al is het werken op een warm eiland anders, het is geen vakantie. ‘We werken knoerthard om alles op tijd af te krijgen.’ 

Het werk

Als hoofdassistent geef je leiding aan de assistenten op locatie, je ondersteunt ze en leidt ze op. Ook bereid je de klussen voor. Verena: ‘Ik krijg de werkwijze van de projectmanager op basis waarvan ik het kabelplan maak. Met bijvoorbeeld Google Maps puzzel je de kortste routes uitom te kijken hoe je het beste kunt bekabelen om met de assistentenploeg alle techniek werkend te krijgen. Tijdens de opname ben ik vooral aan het opletten waar wij andere functies kunnen ondersteunen en erna bouwen we alles weer af.’

‘Twijfel je of het iets voor je is? Kom een dagje meelopen’

Voetbal = vet

Verena: ‘Bij het Nederlands Elftal gaan er meestal zeven assistenten mee die de kabels leggen en ik let op of ze dat goed doen, zodat alles werkt. Ook begeleid ik ze tijdens het camerawerk. Ik vind het echt vet als ik op het veld, achter de cameraman, sta om de opkomst van de voetballers te filmen met om me heen een stampvol stadion!’ Als assistent ben je de ogen en oren van de cameraman. ‘De kabels moeten vast blijven zitten aan de wagen zodat er verbinding is.’ Het mooiste aan mijn werk als assistent: ‘Geen dag is hetzelfde, je komt op veel verschillende plekken en doet de vetste dingen.’  

EMG biedt kansen

Als je als operationeel assistent aan de slag wil, heb je geen negen tot vijfmentaliteit en kun je goed samenwerken met collega’s. Een vooropleiding is niet verplicht. Verena: ‘Je wil er voor zorgen dat een productie goed loopt. De techniek komt allemaal wel, je moet het vooral leuk vinden. Twijfel je of het iets voor je is? Kom na je sollicitatiegesprek een dagje meelopen.’ Verena begon in 2019 als stagiaire, kwam in dienst als operationeel assistent en is nu, op haar 21ste, al hoofdassistent. ‘Het is een groot bedrijf dus je moet jezelf laten zien. Aangeven wat je wil en er zelf achteraan gaan. EMG biedt je kansen.’ 

Manchester, United Kingdom, 23rd February 2022.  

Gravity Media, the leading global provider of complex live broadcast facilities and production services to content owners, creators and distributors, has worked with VERSA Studios to help deliver the relocated daytime show Morning Live for BBC Studios – enabling the broadcast from the new VERSA ABC Studio, Manchester.

The show which launched on Monday 21 February at 9.15am from the new roof top studios in the ABC Building, Quay Street, Manchester, features a ‘northern powerhouse of women’ hosts made up of Sam Quek, Kimberley Walsh and Sara Cox who join Kym Marsh and Gethin Jones as permanent members of the presenting line up.

The work for VERSA Studios on the creation of this new studio facility comes about as Gravity Media continues its expansion in Manchester. A move that will mean Gravity Media can offer a wide range of new opportunities, offering support across the broadcast and post-production markets in the North of England.

Gravity Media worked closely with VERSA Studios who won the bid to deliver the show from a brand new studio it has created in the heart of Manchester. The studio boasts a highly technical specification and Gravity was appointed to provide systems integration, technical equipment supply and rental for both the studio and wraparound edit and ingest with ongoing engineering support.

Following on from the construction work which VERSA Studios started late last year for the studio and production areas; the dedicated Gravity Media team worked closely with VERSA to turn around the system engineering in just under two months to create the 5 camera studio – with the potential for an 8 camera studio set up in the future.

The wider detailed spec included a build featuring: Calrec Artemis sound desk, Ross Ultrix router, EVS Cerebrum control system, Reidel Comms with Bolero wireless belt packs, EVS XT3 with IP gateway and self-contained Avid Edit.

Charlie Ingall, Executive Director VERSA Studios adds:

With such a fast turnaround on the technical specification we decided the best way to create and deliver this brand new state of the art broadcast studio facility was by way of a one stop shop with Gravity Media as our chosen equipment supplier, systems integrator and engineering support. We formed a good working relationship with Gravity from our VERSA Studios London operation through equipment rental and are delighted to have expanded to more of a supply partnership with Gravity Media.

Ed Tischler, MD of Gravity Media, EMEA comments:

“The expansion of our existing Gravity Media Manchester Production Center and Rental Operation is a timely and proud moment for the business, and means we are best placed to support with complex live broadcast facilities and production services across the north of England. The Gravity Media team have done an extremely impressive job working closely with VERSA Studios to facilitate this studios relocation with all systems integration and full engineering support in such a condensed time frame. We look forward to working closely on more such interview and entertainment formats with our dedicated Gravity Media North team.”
