Broadcasting Britain: 100 Years of the BBC

Product Information

This celebration of her incredible life and work brings her out of the shadows and back into the light. How The BBC Began is a Crux Productions and The Garden Productions film for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. Kid’s TV: The Surprising Story (1 x 60’) is a Mighty Scotland Production for BBC One and BBC iPlayer, commissioned by Kate Phillips in her previous role as Director of Entertainment Commissioning. Created 100 years ago, on 18 October 1922, the BBC transformed people’s lives at the turn of a dial, bringing voices out of the ether and conjuring the magic community of radio.

If you have any questions, require more information or if you would like more pictures, do not hesitate to get in touch. The One Show will be rebranded The One Hundred Show between 24 – 28 October and will run a daily BBC 100 show highlighting the BBC’s dedication to unearthing and nurturing talent, with plenty of special guests. So I hope I have captured why I feel the BBC is such an important part of Britain, and the myriad ways it has touched all our lives.

Anita Dobson who played Angie Watts in EastEnders brings along some of Angie’s outfits and regales Fiona with tales from early EastEnders episodes, while former BBC News Correspondent Kate Adie reflects on her time reporting from the world’s hotspots.

Our Adult Fiction Books, Range includes Classics Novels, Comic Books, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Novels, General Fiction, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction and War. The programme will track content from the very first radio broadcast of Children’s Hour in 1922, via the iconic Magic Roundabout, right through to Saturday morning megahits such as Going Live. For its 100th birthday, several projects explore how the BBC’s development over the past century fed and fed off wider changes in British culture and society. El Hosaini, who says she grew up to the sound track of BBC World Service Radio, served as a script editor and production coordinator on independent documentaries before making the leap to directing her own feature films. We’re visiting 400,000 school children as part of our Share Your Story education initiative and we opened up our digitised archive to students.The conventional way to present a documentary is for the presenter to do pieces to camera, then to lay down commentary and then to host interviews. In celebration of its centenary, Robert Seatter presents illustrated highlights from its history – the first Prom broadcast in 1927, wartime updates, coverage of the moon landing, comedy greats, the 2012 Olympics – demonstrating the corporation’s ongoing ability to entertain and inform. On Wednesday evenings, BBC Four will continue to reflect the BBC 100 / BFI Gamechangers collection, with special introductions from famous faces including David Harewood for A Man from the Sun and Alison Steadman for The Singing Detective.
