Dream Factory- TVCentre
Mar 3rd, 2013, 8:51am
 
"The Independant" has a feature written by Brian Viner.



"It is always sad when a dream factory closes, even one with a name as prosaic as Television Centre. Certainly, no single building has loomed larger over British popular culture these past 50 years than the west London edifice said to have been inspired by a question mark doodled by an architect on the back of an envelope, and which now approaches an emphatic full stop. An era that began in June 1960 will close at the end of this month, and development will start on flats, offices, and a hotel that will not, alas, be called Fawlty Towers.......      

.......To paraphrase the Ronnies, it will be goodnight from Huw Edwards, and goodnight from Wood Lane. But thanks, from us all, for the memories."
