STV had a warm welcome and a successful start because it dispensed with the posh accents that predominated in the BBC Programmes produced at Cowcaddens and replaced them with working-class speak previously neglected at Queen Margaret Drive. But, even in its early days, the company also showed it could out-Reith its sole competitor when it tried: most notably with John Grierson's hugely successful compilation of international documentaries, It's a Wonderful World.
