Now that ITV has spent £56m on buying its headquarters and studios on London's South Bank, will it splash a bit of extra cash to get the lifts sorted? Monkey only asks after tales of the elevators', er … not entirely 100% efficiency over the years, including the lift getting stuck between floors, Being John Malkovich-style, with staff having to squeeze their way out onto their floor of choice. Not only that, they didn't always go up and down at the same speed. "There was this thing called 'lift turbulence' where suddenly it would go down two or three floors in one go," according to one insider. Doesn't sound like a problem to Monkey, sounds like a hit Saturday night TV show. Lift-off! Now all we need is an Olympian to front it.
