The British journalist C. P. Scott once said of television, \u2018Not a nice word. Greek and Latin mixed. Clumsy.\u2019 From its earliest days, when people began to discover ways of \u2018seeing at a distance\u2019 through to the multi-platform media environment of today, television has shown itself to be a resilient and adaptable method of communication. Based on detailed archival research, The Early Years of Television and the BBC explores the relationship between the BBC and television from the mid-1920s through to the outbreak of the Second World War. Jamie Medhurst provides an account of the oft-forgotten 30-line television service (1932\u20135) and re-evaluates the belief that Sir John Reith, the Corporation\u2019s Director-General until 1938, would have nothing to do with television.\n\nThe Early Years of Television and the BBC\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the pric;
