Documentary on the Inventor of Television tonight (Nov 2nd)

I don’t usually plug TV programmes, but since “television” is in my email address I thought I’d mention this. Not much notice before it starts I’m afraid, but it’s on until midnight here in the UK.

 

DOCUMENTARY: The Man Who Saw the Future

Channel: BBC 4

Date: Monday 2nd November 2009

Time: 22:46 to 00:01 UT

Duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes.

 

Profile of the man who invented television, concentrating on how his dedication and drive made his achievements possible. Baird's son Malcolm undertakes a moving journey to the defining places in his father's life. Previously unseen archive footage and contributions from former colleagues complete a picture of a remarkable visionary totally committed to his work.
