BBC Big Screen

[5] The Big Screen in Birmingham was removed from Chamberlain Square on 19 September 2007 after the renovation of the Town Hall was completed.

[6] Some controversy has existed over the screen in terms of the number of objections to the renewal of its planning permission.

The Big Screen is now a free community resource that provides the people of Bristol with free film screenings, public information, and content, as well as providing local groups and charity organisations the opportunity to showcase their work and message.

[15] In early September 2013, the screen was removed by Derby City Council in a cost-cutting exercise, although its return in some form has not been ruled out.

It was installed in Waterloo Place in November 2011, and was a focal point during both the 2012 Olympics and also Derry's City of Culture celebrations in 2013.

[19] In September 2013, Dover District Council voted to remove it, due to maintenance costs, a lack of available parts and the BBC's decision to no longer provide content or technical support.

The BBC had already explored screens in relation to events such as Proms in the Park, the 2002 World Cup and the Manchester Commonwealth Games.

For the Queen's Golden Jubilee ten temporary screens were installed in major cities around the UK.

Big Screen Manchester is housed in Exchange Square, a busy public area regenerated after the IRA bomb in 1996.

The Big Screen is located in Walthamstow Town Square, installed in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

[36] When the five-year contract between Hull City Council, Philips and the BBC ended in 2009, the screen was dismantled and moved into storage.
