I can't help but feel that, in 1937, that girl in the bathing suit being spun around, legs akimbo, by the skaters in tails, would have served as some kind of period pornography!

Johny Nit was brilliant, too.

The First shows were in 1936 when the service launched, initially on a demonstration basis at Radiolympia then the full service later in the year.

That skating lady must have been extremely dizzy after all that

When roller skating was performed in tails.

This is not TV! it´s a film!

I love how the emphasis was on live broadcast, not "film". This happened with radio as well (as opposed to "merely" playing records) . I get where they'd want to focus on "live" because this was NEW, but did the set owning audience actually care? To me, if I was a 1930s television receiver owning person, I'd be satisfied that the whole damned thing WORKED at all!

Just so interesting and yet so strange. If for some reason I woke up in 1937 I don't know how I would cope. They would probably stick me in a madhouse.

Crazy thing is though is that the entertainment seams as good if better than today 😂

Back then, the British Empire still existed.

Ah, Received Pronunciation were the days of clear Pronunciation, Diction and Enunciation. It was in the late1960s my Father commented on why the actors were shouting at each other when they were effectively in each others faces. When people are shouting, their speech invariably lacks the clarity of RP. Whether accidental or deliberate, it had the effect of changing how People would sometimes interact.

ofc there is blackface

Not nearly as sophisticated as I expected. 1937 and already searching for the lowest common denominator.

Same "light entertainment" garbage as today. Alrhough the BBC made quite a few decent educational programs in 1990s and 2000s.

BBC went downhill once regional accents were broadcast.

What would Lord Reith have said about the deliberately permitted perversion of the BBC, a once previously respected World Wide broadcasting organisation.

BBC television today is absolute rubbish, especially the programmes broadcast on weekday mornings. The same applies to ITV. Suffice it to say that I watch very little television these days.
