Excellent- More about The Early Years of Television and the BBC
The British journalist C. P. Scott once said of television, Not a nice word. Greek and Latin mixed. Clumsy. From its earliest days, when people began to discover ways of seeing at a distance through to the multi-platform media environment of today, television has shown itself to be a resilient and adaptable method of communication.

From its earliest days, when people began to discover ways of seeing at a distance, through to the multi-platform media environment of today, television has shown itself to be a resilient and adaptable method of communication. Based on detailed archival research, The Early Years of Television and the BBC explores the relationship between the BBC and television from the mid-1920s through to the outbreak of the Second World War. Jamie Medhurst provides an account of the oft-forgotten 30-line television service (1932–5) and re-evaluates the belief that Sir John Reith, the Corporation's Director-General until 1938, would have nothing to do with television.
The book also examines the impact of the Second World War on television production and broadcasting, and the role that the BBC played in shaping the post-war television landscape. It sheds new light on the development of television technology, including the introduction of color television and the rise of satellite broadcasting. The Early Years of Television and the BBC is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of television, broadcasting, and media technology. It provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the early years of television and the BBC, and is essential reading for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of these fields.
