From John Barclay -
Where it all started - the opening of Alexandra Palace. 2nd November 1936

And from my loft...

The cover of Wireless World October 1967

There's no mention of this inside at all, but it's The Julie Felix Show in TC6, and was an advanced proving test for the BBC's first large colour studio. The singers were the Incredible String Band, and on the Marconi Mk7 cameras, Robin Barnes and Paul Salinger.

The camera card lens hoods were there because Marconi hadn't yet supplied the real thing.
