EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a visit to the BBC in 1937, offering a glimpse into the world of broadcasting during that era. The image showcases various intriguing scenes from behind the scenes at the renowned media institution. In one corner, we see Captain CWR Knight, an explorer and author, passionately delivering a broadcast alongside his majestic eagle perched on his arm. Nearby, members of the Oundle School Choir are captured mid-performance as they lend their voices to another radio program. Moving further into the studio, we witness a history lesson being broadcasted with great enthusiasm by an unidentified man. Meanwhile, in one of the effects studios, an artist is meticulously working on creating audio illusions for future productions. However, it's not just humans who play their part in this vibrant setting; even animals have found their way onto these airwaves! A chimpanzee can be seen rehearsing with a dummy microphone under careful supervision. The photograph also highlights another aspect of this visit - a zoo broadcast from within the seal enclosure. Seals gracefully swim around as they become part of an engaging radio show for listeners across Britain. Overall, this snapshot provides us with a fascinating insight into both human creativity and animal involvement within early broadcasting at the BBC in 1937. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced since then while capturing moments filled with curiosity and wonderment.
