IIRC the Heritage site was revamped and greatly extended.

70 years is an odd one though - 75 seems a slightly more obvious one to
celebrate which would be my guess as to why not much was done.
There was a doco in Alan Yentob's 'Imagine' series which featured a
load of old people wandering around a deserted Ally Pally saying how
different it looks. And Lord Reith's daughter saying how he hated
television and didn't show up to the opening night.
