I now realise there is so much I didn't know about the Palace.

An argument for attending only traditional churches, which are so full of such iconography that you are unlikely to find yourself sitting next to him.

Thanks for this rare treat, Colin. As a theory for a couple of drunk students, this stands up, but it almost beggars belief how much time and trouble this chap has taken concocting his theory. This is a very special type of geekery indeed.
I see the YouTube counter shows the first video as having had 179,000 some views; the last has 40,000. He may have lost 80% of his audience through the series, but if even half of those who watched video 1, watched through the whole series, he's still managed to hold an engaged audience of 20,000. Many with more serious messages have been listened to a lot less!

Reckon the best bit was at the end, as Colin hinted. I confess I couldn't have come up with such an interpretation for the Community Use for [the] Old Station.

I've come across this fellow before. He has been running a one-man campaign against David Icke accusing him of being a Freemason (and thus a Satanist). I enjoy this stuff about symbolism and tend to think there may be something in it, in so far as how some of these motifs originated and were used in antiquity, but obviously the motifs have long since entered the basic vocabulary of modern-day architects so, as he mentions, they are everywhere. Nevertheless, I am interested enough to want to read up about the architect and developer of Alexandra Palace in order to see if there is any evidence of them being interested in the occult/freemasonry etc.

Well done for being more open that me to possibilities. Do please come back and let us all know what you discover.

For some reason the names of the architects, John Johnson and Alfred Meeson, were not mentioned on the Wikipedia page, but I have now added them. Neither of them is very well known so there is not much to go on, but I could find nothing at all suspect about them, at least before I lost interest. As regards Sir John Kelk, who with Lucas Brothers was the contractor, I also found nothing related to the occult. Interestingly, though, he once sued for libel a man who had claimed that Kelk offered bribes in a bid to secure a government building contract. The defendant, George Pearson, was found guilty and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment.
Kelk may have been telling the truth but the accusations made against him and the man who allegedly accepted the bribes sounded somewhat plausible to me. It sounds like they just denied everything and because there was no proof and they were both eminent men they were believed.
Of course, Pearson might also have been lying, but how could he have had realistic hopes of profiting from making such a bold claim if it was without foundation?
