If you look at a TV there is a black outline around the outside of the screen, and half way down the left and right side there is a single blank space. What is its purpose?

Even when the television is switched off there is a gap in the black outline to the screen, so it looks like two dots. Check it yourself.

It is what TV engineers use for picture alignment the black dots are exactly half way down the screen

Only Philips tubes have these two blocks on the sides of the visual tube.
If you have these on your TV, then you have a good set. Its common to find Philips tubes in many many makes of Television.

it's a visual signal to the controllers that the current programme is about to end so it's time to cue up the next item
Nope, hang on, that's not what you're asking. I've just looked at my TV and it has them too. No idea. Baffled.
