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.

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.

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

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)

Farnsworth & Alan Blumlein worked independently of each other [not sure of how much awareness there was of competitors in this area]....Blumlein was the EMI technician responsible for the 405 line system.Book "television 1880 to 1940" documents the work of early tv pioneers in many parts of the world both mechanical & electronic methods.In Britain Cambell-swinton patented a CRT method in 1905-much needed to happen before this could become practical@@CrazyTobster

​@@CrazyTobster EMI's Emitron tube worked on the same principle as RCA's Iconoscope tube, but Farnsworth's "Image Dissector" tube worked on an entirely different principle. Although Farnworth's tube produced images of good quality they were very insensitive compared to the Emitron/Iconoscope type thus needing a lot of more light to operate adequately. As edwardnowill says below all of these were inspired by Campbell-Swinton's invention. If anyone can claim to have "invented" electronic Television it was Campbell-Swinton.

Yeah, I hear the English love that BBC 😂 over 100 years of that BBC 😂😂

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.

This is the first time the BBC has finished bottom of the impartiality rankings.
