How BBC television first went live - BBC News 

And now I have a phone in my pocket that shoots in 8K. Progress is amazing.

1:57 That's not how the Baird system looked like in 1936. By then it had advanced to 240 lines of resolution in a 5:4 aspect ration and was much sharper. (The images shown here are of the mid-1920s 30-line system.) Even so, it couldn't compete with the 405-line EMI system, not only in terms of quality but also practicality.

My very first memories of TV were aged 5 in the Bar of the Bush Hotel Saint Cyrus near Montrose Scotland and at the Coronation of the late Queen. The whole community turned out to watch the first TV in the local area. My Dad was the publican.

One of the most iconic moments in television history

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when CRT's were the only thing in town and we could only afford a tiny black and white. I remember tuning all four channels in and strangely, being able to watch it all day without getting bored. We get hundreds of channels now and there's nothing but crap.

Yes amazing isnt it i have all the british pathes on dvd from 1970-1989 some amazing clips

Umm... The images you show for the baird system actually show the early experimental and fully mechanical 32 line system not the Baird 240 line system the BBC tested against the 405 line EMI system. The Baird 240 line system produced much better pictures than the ones shown here (but still worse than the EMI system of course)

Honestly, this is incredible. I do hope that technology can advance as we go throughout the decades,

A correction on the facts of the Baird system used in the broadcast trials. I see the simulated Baird system image looking more like the early years of the Baird System at BBC from the early 1930s when he was broadcasting at 30 lines and vertical scan with a 7:3 ratio portrait like screen, that is incorrect for the 1936-37 Baird broadcasts as at that point Baird's system was much higher resolutation at 240 lines and was horizontal scan with I guess either a 5:4 or 4:3 ratio picture like that of the EMI system. The EMI electronic system had 405 line resolution which is nearly double that of the Baird mechanical system. The screens of factory manufactured B&W TVs at that point were generally B&W not black and green or other colours like shown at 2:18 , there were homebuilt and lab built experimental TVs made with green phosphor tubes which generally used in oscilloscopes but not factory made ones for retail.

Thank you for inventing Doctor Who, the BBC!

I don't remember the picture being that clear in the 80,90s!?!

Interesting to watch behind the scenes

The time when it all started for BBC.

Interesting as in all the years visiting Ally Pally, 35, was informed by staff that there no old studios there, this now disproved their theories.

Amazing stuff

Nostalgia

Respect to the BBC's well-organized reporting style

_🎻 🎶 🎻_ The melody for this piece came to me during a journey I made some years ago, when I was blessed to spend many days and nights immersed in and transformed by sacred music and ceremonies. When I later decided to set this poem by the Azerbaijani mystical poet Nasimi to the melody, I was amazed at how perfectly his words matched the music I had composed. I believe the reason is that both the music and the words reflect a glimpse - however fleeting in my case - of the eternal. ─SAMI YUSUF

Incredible to think it was built before. They were born

This is the BBC!

i love bbc i grew up on bbc ❤

Descendant is a powerful documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the survivors of the Clotilda, believed to be the last ship that carried enslaved Africans to the United States. This Higher Ground film is one way for the families of the survivors to reclaim part of their story. I hope you’ll watch today on Netflix - and encourage your family and friends to watch and learn about this part of our history, too.─ _✍️_ 😁🤭

Life is a long road. Difficulties and hardships will appear anytime, anywhere. Whether you are doing a study, a career or a job, you have to be aware of it, be proactive and prepare for it. You only have sixty percent in your life.

📻 to 📺

It has a layout of a power station, but because it is a television we must remember where we came from. You are asked to help a late night show host, who has a preceding history. If feels about what you have. But don't be my lovely calendar date, come here with me.

Wow historic movement 🙂🎈 congratulations 🎉👏

How is possible People back then go out side record on live but there were no internet back then on TVs

Thank you for sharing it.

That picture was pretty good considering how bad it was in the 80s

I just hope when I get older TVS would be so smart and build in AI and and would be the computer tell you what do you want watch and touch screen

BBC you are not interested to telecast the documentary film about the Andaman Islands cellular Jail?

Hello, please I'm looking for work

No doubt this was reccomended to me by RU-vid because of The Giggle (Doctor Who)

Where it all started…

Sad that the BBC destroyed all that historic technology and studio.

Hello friends!!! Have a great sunday. I wish the best for everyone

BBC😍

The examples of the two systems are totally wrong. The Baird system was not the 30 line example shown but rather a 240 line system and the EMI system was not the fictional ~100 line example but rather 405 lines. Totally wrong fake history!

god save the king!

Very good report. Over a few generations technology has changed so much. The quality of the visual and audio output has changed so much that you wonder if it can get much better after 4K and 8K or even if it needs to. This advancement is similar to what we manufacture and install throughout the uk now with our Integral Blinds inside high performance double or triple glazed sealed units either operated by magnets or automated switch or remote controlled. We now can even operate the via a app from an iPad or iPhone or even voice.

Not so much "High Definition TV", compared to todays standards!

It's a tragedy that in the Ofcom conducted annual survey covering the period April 2019 to March 2020, THE BBC suffered a huge blow after its news output received the lowest impartiality score of any British broadcaster, adding further fuel to the argument of bias at the Corporation. This is the first time the BBC has finished bottom of the impartiality rankings.

شكرا جزيلا على تضامنكم في بناء مستقبل أفضل وأكثر استدامة وأمنا !! لا ينبغي لأحد منا أن يتسامح مع أولئك المتطرفين.. لقد مارسوا القتل في كثير من المدن، لقد قتلوا أبناء مختلف العقائد ومعظم ضحاياهم من المدنيين. إن أعمالهم غير متطابقة على الإطلاق مع كل من حقوق البشر وتقدم الأمم والإسلام، إذ ينص القران الكريم على أن "من قتل نفسا بغير نفس أو فساد في الأرض فكأنما قتل الناس جميعا ومن أحياها فكأنما أحيا الناس جميعا". ولا شك أن العقيدة التي يتحلى بها أكثر من مليار مسلم تفوق عظمتها بشكل كبير الكراهية الضيقة التي يكنها البعض.
