Clarkson brought up a great point about the 1960 Presidential debate. Kennedy wasn't just charming and charismatic but he looked more relaxed and at ease with being on television, especially in the way he looked directly into the camera, speaking to the American people. Even when he and Nixon are just sitting, Kennedy has his legs crossed, completely natural and Nixon seemed on the edge of his seat almost. It's amazing how much is communicated to us about a person non-verbally and TV gave us that. I'm not surprised at all that Kennedy won.

TV started out with just a few channels, now we have a channel for every single person. That is what internet on your phone/computer is, your very own channel. Except we don't call it Tele-Vision anymore, even though it clearly is, Wi-Fi is most definitely just radio waves, with some computer somewhere talking to a small computer in your smartphone/tablet. Words change, but at the fundamental core, Radio is still going strong. There are more radio waves than ever, and everyone has a computer now. We just call it a smartphone, but it is, once again, the exact same thing.

You should watch his show on "Who Killed the British Motor Industry", where he demonstrates how far UK industry has fallen since 1946.

he makes great documentaries

Many 'inventors' (innovative people who designed/developed unique technologies/products having specialized 'uses') never got rich. Many never even received non-monetary credit for bringing the world some of the devices upon which we all survive and advance. A 'patent' is only as good as the legal muscle the inventor can muster to defend their own 'right' to their own 'intellectual property'.

Wow a lot of hatred here. One thing to note RCA ended up paying 1 million dollars to Farnsworth for the multi year license of his 1927 patent. It doesn't matter who or what country does these documentaries they don't always use in depth research into everyone involved in the development in a product. You need more time for research than is available and at times it might have been presented but was left on the cutting room floor as the saying goes. The editor is rarely a historian or even knowledgeable on the subject being filmed. Sadly many history books are the same.

Jagadish Chandra Bose was an Indian physicist who pioneered semiconductors. It was this work from an often forgotten man which allowed the invention of the valves which powered Colosus and the cathode ray tube which gave us television well into the early 21st century.

I love when they brought up John Logie Baird on the Grand Tour, when they bring up that the English call famous Scots ‘British’ so that they can subtly claim ownership of them. “When Logie Baird was messing about with pneumatic shoes, he was a Scottish crackpot. When he invented the television, he was a British genius.”

So how were the pictures transmitted?

I think he;s a brilliant entertainer.

The wireless radio is based on the discovery of electromagnetic waves by Heinrich Hertz in 1886. Guglielmo Marconi applied this discovery to the telegraphic transfer news: In 1897, he succeeded in a wireless transmission over a distance of five kilometers, in 1901, he radioed across the Atlantic. The technical foundations of broadcasting were in the late 19th Century by Nikola Tesla invented and patented. However, in 1895 a fire destroyed his finished plant.

Marconi's "invention" was stolen by Marconi from Nicola Tesla (now proven in court). Marconi took the opportunity to pursue the wireless transmission after his close association with Tesla, where he learned of the idea.
