This weekend Alexandra Palace are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the the world’s very first television program – broadcast from the BBC studios at Ally Pally on November 2, 1936.

As the guardians of the Alexandra Palace brand underscore have been very active ahead of the event with new approach and onsite signage installed throughout and our website www.alexandrapalace.com was overhauled to commemorate the occasion.

There’ll be celebrations all weekend at the iconic North London venue, with tours, interactive displays and even the chance to get made up in 1930s TV face make up. We’ve been lucky enough to source some we’ve taken over the background of the Ally Pally site with a beautiful old image of a BBC film crew shooting onsite., and it’s a fascinating insight into the beginnings of a medium we can’t imagine life without.
