Goodbye to Ally Pally

Ian Norman

When the Open University moved out of Alexandra Palace,  “Nationwide” transmitted a live farewell show from there on the 3rd July 1981.

I recorded the show and recently dug out the tape. I have put it on YouTube and thought the Tech-Ops list should know, just in case someone was interested in watching it.

What a pleasure seeing the likes of Cecil Madden,(with hi-tech mic), Wilkie, Ted Langley and the even-then-still-attractive Sylvia Peters. Memories, memories…
