Hi.
In retrospect the program could have mentioned that other than the break due to WW2 the 405 line system served us up to 1985, a massive achievement for a pre-war system and something not to be forgotten.
They also should have mentioned that the 240 line mechanical scanned system as proposed produced a very annoying flicker, far more objectionable than on moving scenes with the interlaced 405 line system.
Very little was mentioned about how the 405 line system was devised and one name was not heard..... the very great Alan Blumlein, a serious omission.
Surely a set closer to 1936 could have been found other than a TV22 or was it a 12?
