BBC : Michael Aspel & Richard Baker star in

Russ Crombie archives : BBC TV News - the early years-1960s..... Alexandra Palace was the home of TV News for many years, and holds special memories for those who worked there. I started at A.P. in 1966, and indeed it felt as though i had joined a family club! Those pioneering days of TV News were truly exciting and inovative times. of course everyone worked long and hard shifts, but there were also occasions when people let their hair down!
