EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the first meeting of the Television Advisory Committee at the General Post Office building in London. The year is 1935, and television is still in its infancy, with endless possibilities awaiting exploration. The committee members are seated around a large table, engrossed in discussion and planning for the future of this groundbreaking technology. On the left-hand side sits Mr. Noel Ashbridge from BBC. I, representing one of the key players in broadcasting at that time. To his right is Mr. O. F. Brown, followed by Sir Frank Smith and Lord Selsdon, who holds the esteemed position of Chairman. Also present are Mr. F. W. Phillips from G. P. O. , Colonel Angwin as Assistant Engineering Chief of G. P. O. , and finally Mr. V. Roberts serving as Secretary of the committee - all individuals dedicated to shaping this new medium into something extraordinary. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, it becomes evident that these pioneers were driven by an unwavering passion for progress and innovation. Little did they know then that their efforts would lay down foundations for what would become an integral part of our daily lives - television. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of how far we have come technologically but also highlights the importance of collaboration and foresight when embarking on uncharted territories such as entertainment television between two world wars
