  • Over course the Brits and their limited education didn't teach them about Nikola Tesla who had the Radio and Radio Control Years before Marconi, which the Supreme Court upheld Tesla as the Inventor of Both.

  • @MrSchpankme Quite simple. The controllers of the world don't want attention being brought to Tesla because he was on the road to uncovering free energy, and they demoed his equipment in favor of charging us for energy. Classic example of history being re-written to hide the truth.

  • My name is Brummitt. I don't find the name Brum funny. I was bullied because of it, even by teachers. You had me on side until that point.

  • @Feisty1967 Huh?

  • Hi! Great video! Just wondering if you knew the date it was made? I am a researcher looking into the history of radio, so it would be really helpful! Thanks :-)

  • @lonsdalesquirrel I believe this was made around 1990, but radio hasn't changed since then, except for satellite radio.

  • Oh, I remember this show when I was a kid... it really got me into science.

    But there's one mistake: Nikola Tesla was the first who saw that radio waves can be used practically and made the patent, and not Marconi.

  • oh god i love this show!

  • Nicola Tesla discovered radio waves. Marconi applied those discoveries into real applications. Hence Marconi is just the inventor of the radio. Nothing more.

    Long live Nicola Tesla.

  • It's Brum! <- Childhood memories.

  • @CraigTube .. your much more advanced in your knowledge, and understanding then the average individual. Best regards.

  • @CraigTube At around 8:43, the RC car has "BRUM 1" on the license plate...

    That might be what Feisty1967 is referring to.

  • @Feisty1967 @Feisty1967 One can be bullied for anything. What relevance would that have to this excellent TV programme? Don't be so silly.
