Here is the twenty-year-old story of BBC television told in pictures.
It is a story of small beginnings, many changes, great progress. It starts at No. 16 Portland Place, London, W.1, and then moves up to a hill in North London. It continues in the roominess of Lime Grove at Shepherds Bush. Someday, soon, White City will be Television City serving the whole nation.
The Play – then and now
In 1930 a Nevinson drawing for a backcloth, a plain curtain behind.
In 1950, elaborate sets, skilled lighting, depth, atmosphere, favourites of the West End; a recent production of The Chiltern Hundreds.
