Subject to contract ?

Could this be the week we learn of a deal between the BBC and developers for Television Centre ?  We've been warned it's close, and punters will be keen to see the value -  somewhere between my niggardly estimate of £30m and leaks of a top bid of £200m.

There's a fin de siecle air to much of the building already, evidenced in these pictures from Peter Sumpter. For many more pictures of the building in operation over the years, try Bernard Newnham's collection.  And if you can hang on until May 15, the BFI is hosting a preview of a 90 minute documentary, Tales of Television Centre, made by Richard Marson. .
