Crossleydd42 raises an interesting question--what would have happened if Baird's color TV developments had been aggressively pursued when they first appeared? We'll never know because the war clearly got in the way. Besides--was it a further adaptation of EMI's all electronic system, which was clearly the wave of the future (much like Philo Farnsworth's still higher-resolution system in the US) or just a bigger screen colorized version of Baird's losing system in 1936?
Voiceover sounds like it was done by Charlie O'Donnell, best known as the announcer on the popular Wheel of Fortune game show.
There are a lot of accounts of who started TV as we know it. Some say it was Baird, while others point to the early 1920s work of Vladimir Zworykin of RCA labs...and the all-electronic analog TV system we've been using since 1939 was primarily the work of inventor Philo Farnsworth.
@BobWXXI The BBC (UK) started regular TV broadcasts in 1936, using Baird's 240-line mechanical system & EMI/Marconi's 405-line electronic system on alternate nights. Baird's system was crude, & hobbled with the cameras bolted to the floor, unlike the other system. Baird's system was quickly abandoned. Just before & during the war, he made huge strides in transmitting/receiving colour TV, but the UK missed this opportunity in 1946 and the US did not pick up the opportunity either.
Farnsworth didn't invent the electronic television. It was invented and patented by Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi in 1926. The later Farnsworth system proved to a blind alley, Factories have never produced the Farnsworth system. Tihanyi's earlier invention of the predecessor of all modern electronic system. UNESCO (United Nations) the patent offices and Nobel Comitee created the award: MEMORY OFTHE WORLD. They considered Tihanyi as the inventor
