Isn't this the 1967 remake?

@ericthemauve It was not incorrect. It was transmitted in 1936 (typeo). In 1930 there had been a plan to do something, but it never happened. Granada TV in the 1980s did a series about the history about television and from the BBC Archives it was telecast in 1936.

@ pcjhappystation. I don't quite understand your reply. You're agreeing with me that the 1936 date is incorrect..
-
@ericthemauve AHH wrong! Check the BBC Archives in London. The original was in the summer of 1930 as per the technical logs from the BBC. Baird was using BBC MV transmitters for the picture and sound. They also have the original logs showing that Marconi has retro-fitted the transmitter used for the video signal. All the original paper work is in the BBC Archives and the Alexandra Palace Archives.

Incorrect description. The original was transmitted in 1930, not 1936.
By 1936 Baird was using a far superior 240 line transmission system.

@Chepo760 Why not use a Spanish song? The video is an adaptation of Luigi Pirandello's 1923 short play, L'Uomo dal Fiore in Bocca (The Man With The Flower In His Mouth) - based on an original Spanish short story.
Kudos to those who painstakingly re-created the historic public broadcast, the second ever TV play. O.K., there was a U.S. transmission of a TV drama some 18 months earlier, but that was to only four TV receivers. This one was to a larger audience.

The reason that the US had so many Kinescopes of live programming was because they had to broadcast the shows twice to fit into the different time zones - once Live for the East Coast/MidWest and then by Kinescope for the Pacific Coast/FarWest time zones. Even then a lot of recordings were discarded or mishandled. Sadder still, when videotape came into use after 1958 the tapes would often be erased for reuse -- If a program was to be saved they would kinscope the videotape before erasing.

In 30 lines that was just *devastating* - the look on his face! Brilliant choice of test content.

@Chepo760 Maybe because they picked a song in Spanish.

What sucks is the British were very bad at saving programs. Unlike the US which saved many as Kino's, the Brits almost didn't. The only shows in the UK that were saved in the most part from the 50s and 60s wee ones shot on film.
