John-John, Hils, Crog, JB and I braved the snow yesterday to cross London for a tour of the soon-to-be-closed BBC Television Centre in Wood Lane. It was an absorbing (and emotional, given the wealth of memories associated with this unique building) journey through the corridors, studios and dressing rooms that will very soon be stripped out as the property becomes a new hotel complex.
We saw an amazing cornucopia of memorabilia, as you might expect...
Pauline Fowler's housecoat
Of course, the day did not end there, as John-John and I ended up at the "Elephant's Graveyard" (The City of Quebec) till the wee small hours. Needless to say I am not my shining best this morning, as Madam Arcati and I prepare to make another precipitous journey through the blizzards to visit his family in Brighton today.
We need some cheesy lounge music to wend us on our way, methinks, courtesy of an ensemble called The Eliminators and a faboo go-go-inspired video...
Visit Uncle Jerry's Pad for more lounge classics.
