TVC shines bright on a dark day for British media
November 29: Thursday morning, early and I
emerged from White City Underground Station.
Television Centre stood out against a bright
blue sky bathed in the sun. A media icon
opened in 1960 a place where Doctor Who, Blue Peter Fawlty Towers first came to
life.
As the BBC shift back into central London or up to
Salford Manchester is TVC looks for a new mission. Now it is a listed building
(announced by the Labour Government 2009).
At the time the Labour minister said "It has been a torture chamber for
politicians, and an endless source of first-class entertainment for the nation
- sometimes both at the same time."
And later today the Daily Mail, the nation’s rabid
read (along with other beasts of the press beasts cheer) David Cameron as he
consigns the Levenson Report to the waste paper bin.
