‘This Morning’, ‘The Cube’, ‘Mr & Mrs’ and ‘Dancing On Ice’ host Phillip Schofield began his British TV career at Television Centre. He provided continuity for Children’s BBC from the infamous ‘broom cupboard’, before becoming host of Saturday morning classic ‘Going Live’. This is what he has to say about the campaign:

“It’s easy to become over sentimental over TVC, after all, it is the building where all my career dreams came true,” he admits, “However on a much more practical level, I remain convinced that, with the right business plan, this iconic building could be saved.”

“It is the envy of broadcasters around the world. HD capable and in some cases 3D capable. With 8 purpose built studios it seems extremely short sighted to lose this vital broadcasting hub in the capital.”

Schofield’s affection for the Centre is well-known in the industry and to his many fans. Last year, he acquired one of the EMI 2001 colour cameras that had been used at TV Centre throughout the 1970s and 1980s, complete with its ‘BBC tv colour’ logo plate.
