    1949 Architect Graham Dawbarn scribbled a question mark on the back of an envelope when asked to design the BBC’s first purpose-built television centre, foreseeing that it would make the perfect shape for an efficient ‘factory for television’. 1957 Covering 14 acres and twice the size of St Paul’s Cathedral, it was possible to see Television Centre under construction from Alexandra Palace, where the BBC began broadcasting television in 1936. 1958 The circular block was designed with 400 offices for 3,000 people, dressing rooms for 600 artists, 7 studios, wardrobe for 16,000 items, laundry, hair salon, make-up and wig-making departments, script and music libraries, band practice room, and a telephone exchange. 1959 Next to the 1908 London Olympic Stadium, construction nears completion ten years after its announcement by the BBC Controller Norman Collins at the Television Society annual dinner.
