The BBC origin story
Journey back to the 1920s to relive the first firsts of broadcasting.
From Marconi to Reith via Britain’s first DJ (Mrs Donisthorpe, WWI), the first radio drama (a story lost till Paul found it in the British Library), the first BBC children’s programme, and much more.
Based on Paul’s new research, this delightfully fun tale is packed with rare clips and pics, old radio props, and insights of Paul’s present-day BBC career, from sitcom-writing to broadcasting on Radio 2.
The show ends with Q&A and a chance to browse his 1922 Radio Times (although the programmes are no longer on BBC Sounds)
