From giant water tanks and ice rinks, to zip wires across the set from the studio’s 49 ft. high gantry, Studioworks has accommodated various unusual and complex filming requirements across the last ten series. Challenges for series 12 included a muddy assault course, a mini motorbike race and a virtual sky dive.

Meryl McLaren, Commercial Manager at BBC Studioworks said: “It’s a real privilege to have supported A League of Their Own since the show’s infancy, witnessing the production’s evolution as it has become bolder and more ambitious with every series”.

The twelfth series of A League of Their Own will air in autumn 2017.
