1936 Television song
Loading...
Uploaded by lswrsi on Sep 19, 2007
From the film 'Television Comes to London', this song encapsulates the sense of wonder about this new technology, in a very British pre-war way! "A mighty maze of mystic magic rays is all about us in the gloom" indeed!

I suspect that is indeed the drama he was after; just in case the link doesn't work (it didn't for me, though when I found it, it was that link) - it's called "The Fools On The Hill", with that quirky sense of humour the BBC still allowed about itself in the 1980s. (The hill being the one on which Alexandra Palace, where the transmitter and studios were, stood.)

I spent weeks in Berlin archives to watch all the still existing footage from the early era of german television (1935-1944) for university. It's really great to see some 1930's TV stuff without Nazis. Thank you for posting this. The song is awesome.
