Some fascinating new articles for you this month, kicking off with an in-depth look from Russ J Graham at what exactly happened when the BBC Television Service went off the air at the outbreak of the Second World War. You've probably seen the documentary - now find out what really happened.
Meanwhile, our roving reporter Glenn Aylett has headed north of the border this month, and returns with an illustrated report on the new BBC and STV production facilities appearing on Clydeside. And a new contributor, Sam Simmonds, tells us what it was like in the Presentation Department at Rediffusion in the sixties. Plus we conclude our exclusive interview with Sir Christopher Chataway. This month, he compares television today with what went on at the start of his broadcasting career.
We’ve also been re-vamping some more sites as we gradually move over to the new Content Management System. Kudos to Andrew Bowden as Techmark, Studio One, Halcyon Days and Third Programme each get a stunning new look from designer Russ J Graham.
