Description
The Early Years of Television and the BBC by Jamie Medhurst This book explores the relationship between the BBC and television from the mid-1920s to the outbreak of the Second World War, shedding new light on the Corporation's early forays into broadcasting. Through detailed archival research, Medhurst examines the 30-line television service of the 1930s and challenges prevailing views on the role of Sir John Reith, the BBC's Director-General until 1938. Medhurst's account provides a fresh perspective on the development of television in the UK, highlighting the often-overlooked period of the early BBC service. By re-evaluating the evidence, Medhurst offers a nuanced understanding of the complex history of television and its place within the BBC's broader mission. With 208 pages of in-depth research and analysis, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of television and the BBC.
