This month rather than listing our usual couple of quotable quotes from persons of note, I thought we should have a quick history lesson, in celebration of 75 years of television as we know it...

BBC Celebrates 75 Years Of Television

Back on November 2, 1936 the BBC ran the world's first "repeat" of a TV show, this on the very same day they COMMENCED transmissions from Alexandra Palace.

Two services were tested.

John Logie Baird's in one studio and a Marconi-EMI system in another.

A coin toss decided that the pilot programme would be transmitted on the Baird system first, and then on the Marconi-EMI system following a brief pause - so that there was a repeat show on the first day!

After three months it was decided to use the EMI system.

A BBC video reports names once considered for television included phototelegraphy, seeing by wireless, and electric telescope.

75 years later and TV, as it became known, is still going strong. Personally I'm glad they decided to call it Television (TV) as settling down in front of the "electric telescope" with a beer to watch the game just doesn't have the same ring!
