Radio Times Wednesday: The Eventual Launch of BBC2
The issue from the week of 09.11.63 was all about then eventual launch of BBC2. This article is real interesting to read about the original plans for the station. In the first pic, that is surely is the East Tower of BBC Television Centre under construction? I love the 1960s art created to portray each of the day's programming! I also love these nice huge clean images of the BBC logo!

From the Archive Episode 10: Tales of Television Centre & ITV Archives
BBC Television Centre has a place in many of hearts that
adore British television. When news came about its closure, it upset many that
the BBC would leave such an iconic location. A wonderful documentary was
produced before it closed. Directed by Richard Marson, Tales of Television
Centre, brought together a wide spectrum of people who worked most of their
careers there to bring us some of the warmest memories of our “concrete donut”.
We talk with Richard about the making of this documentary and what it was like
making it, creating the tone of the piece and an insight on what the BBC wanted
to name it just prior to transmission! This is the first of a few conversations
with will have with Richard and this is a fun one to listen to about Television
Centre!
We also talk to Andrew Gavaghan who is the Archive Manager
to the ITV archives. Conducted on location at the ITV Archive in Leeds in
December of 2017, Andrew gives is an insight into the workings of the archives.
It’s a great conversation!
