I see there are a couple of programmes on beginnings of the BBC this
weekend and the following weekend.
DOCUMENTARY: How the BBC Began
On: BBC Two England HD
Date: Saturday 22nd October 2022 (starting in 3 days)
Time: 19:00 to 20:35 (1 hour and 35 minutes long)
The first of two programmes featuring the stories behind seminal moments
of the first 50 years of the BBC across TV and radio, with tales of
triumphs and disasters as new frontiers of broadcasting were mapped out. James Burke tells how the Queen Mother helped shape the BBC's coverage of
one Apollo space mission, while Huw Wheldon describes the cliffhanger of producing Winston Churchill's one appearance on television.

Weren't they usually places close to where OB links had been set up for
a football match?

We weren't supposed to notice that.

For some years, a number of programmes used to do that because it was the
cheapest way to do an OB insert into a programme. I think some were
quite open about them doing it.

It is funny the number of times over the last week when they talked
about the start of BBC radio in 1922, they have used pictures of the Alexandra Palace tower and antenna!

Just shows their poor historical knowledge, would not be surprised (particularly after Sunday's Antiques Roadshow) that many of them
think it all started at Alexandra Palace.

Maybe they confused the start of the BBC with the start of BBC Television.

We should really have an updated version of Pawley but no chance of that.

In this context it refers to Edward Pawley, and a book he complied in
1972 (to mark the BBC's 50th anniversary) that catalogues the BBC's engineering activity 1922 to 1972

Saturday football.

It didn't when I did it. It was recorded, twice, on subsequent evenings
with the same people (they were asked to turn up twice and wear the
same clobber for continuity) and then the better version of each bit
was selected in the edit.
We recorded the first programme on Wed/Thu and then moved on and did
another one on the Sat/Sun.
This was in the early 90s, in that hot-bed of football, the south of
Devon and Cornwall.
A most enjoyable week.
