EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph features Jasmine Lydia Bligh, one of the pioneering television announcers for the BBC in the 1930s. Born on May 20, 1913, Jasmine was the daughter of Noel Bligh, a descendant of the 8th Earl of Darnley. Her sister, Susan Bligh, was a renowned mannequin in London's fashion scene. Jasmine's elegant and charming presence graced the early days of television broadcasting, as she provided continuity announcements, introducing programmes in-vision alongside Leslie Mitchell and Elizabeth Cowell. The Bystander magazine described her as 'another of Mayfair's Glamour Girls: good-humoured and decorative.' The image, taken in 1938, captures Jasmine's timeless beauty and sophistication. Her poised demeanour and captivating smile radiate an air of elegance and grace, making her a perfect fit for the role of television hostess and personality. As one of the first female television presenters, Jasmine paved the way for future generations of women in broadcasting. Her legacy continues to inspire and influence the world of television, reminding us of the early days of this exciting and ever-evolving medium."
