  • Please do some homework. First, John Logie Baird did not invent television; no single person can make that claim. Second, it was not produced by the BBC to be broadcast in Germany. Third, the image although small, was not as small as this--it was about the size of a bus ticket or a large stamp. And fourth, what we're watching is not the original 1930 broadcast but a recreation of it performed in 1967, since in 1930 there was no way of preserving television broadcasts.

  • @mrmousebender When I read this I felt like an idiot, but you're right. Thank you for informing me and others who watch this video in the future. I will update the description in tune with your knowledge.

  • How big was the screen in inches/cm?

  • @tardiskeeper6 I am not sure about inches/cm it could of been anything. But I know the resolution is 30 by 90 (That is, it is 90 'pixels' high). These days we have TV 1080 pixels high (That is, 1080p, also known as Full HD)

  • @tardiskeeper6 If you go on HD and click on the Expand video button, you will get the real size in quality.

  • "I found, for example, that the common and oversimplified practice of citing some individual as the 'father' of television is a patent distortion of history...to squeeze the numerous contributions into the narrow confines of one individual does an injustice to the facts: a remarkable interaction of several hundred major scientists striving towards a common goal."

    --Dr. Albert Rose in the foreword to Albert Abramson's "History of Television, 1881-1941" acknowledged as the definitive work about TV
