| Video Discription | Tristán White and Sharon Crawford visit Alexandra Park and talk about the history of Alexandra Palace, from its grand opening in 1873 to its rôle as an internment camp during World War I, it's relevance to the history of television and the BBC in particular, and its dreadful fires. We talk about how it got its name, and what the future may hold for it, if the council get their way. Do check out http://www.saveallypally.com/ for a history of the campaign to stop the council from selling the Palace off to become a casino.

And in sight and sound they trace Living pictures out of space, To bring a new wonder to you. The busy world before us is unfurled -- Its song, its tears and laughter too. One by one they play their parts In this latest of the Arts, To bring new enchantment to you. And by your fireside you'll sit, The news will flit, As on the silver screen. And just for entertaining you With something new, The stars will then be seen. There's joy in store, the world is at your door, It's here to pass you in review. Conjured up in sound and sight By the magic rays of light That bring television to you. lyrics: James Dyrenforth - music: Kenneth Leslie-Smith. |
