Save TV Centre Studios is a campaign to convince the BBC and Stanhope PLC to reconsider demolishing five of the UK’s best working TV studios, on the site of BBC Television Centre.

The campaign has been set up by a group of  experienced TV industry professionals – directors, producers, sound engineers, technicians, crew and many others from all walks of television production – who all feel passionately about the demolition of not only some of the best working TV studios in the country, but the destruction of such an iconic and magical place to work.

Stars including Phillip Schofield, Zoe Wanamaker CBE, Robert Lindsay, Esther Rantzen, Matt Lucas, Miranda Hart, Peter Purves, Arlene Phillips CBE,  Sir Michael Parkinson, Tony Robinson, Janet Ellis, Charlie Brooker, Richard Wilson, Al Murray, Sir David Jason, Neil Dudgeon, Barry Cryer CBE, Alexander Armstrong, Russell Grant, Jean Boht, Lesley Nicol, Melvyn Hayes, Sylvester McCoy, Nicola Bryant, Bob Mortimer, Dick & Dom and Jeremy Clarkson have all pledged support for the campaign.

LEGO ARCHITECTURE: BBC TELEVISION CENTRE

April 17, 2013 · admin

The Lego CUSOO website offers fans of the little building blocks and yellow men the opportunity to submit ideas for Lego sets that could go into production.

We were delighted then, to see this submission on the site submitted by user dansquier and will of course be casting our votes for his Lego Architecture submission of the BBC Television Centre asap.

Lego-television-centre

Here’s what Dansquier had to say about his entry:

“Television Centre at White City in West London was the headquarters of BBC Television from its opening in 1960 until its sale and closure for redevelopment in early 2013. As home to many of Britain’s most well-known and well-loved television broadcasts and recordings for over 50 years, it’s a building that’s familiar to millions. As a distinctive, quirky and iconic piece of architecture – said to be inspired by a question mark sketch on the back of envelope – it’s utterly unique, and inspires enormous affection from those who’ve come to know it: both up close and from the comfort of their living room over warm tea and buttered toast.”

You can click here to support his submission and hopefully we’ll all be buying Lego BBC Television Centre sets very soon.
