Default Re: Television's Opening Night

I find it ironic to watch all the effort that was put into producing live TV in 1936 and Baird with the intermediate film process when they could have prerecorded most things on film properly processed and have a permanent record. I understand the Baird system was better than EMI at scanning films.
They then would have been well ahead as all we ever get now is recordings with the occasional news bulletin and sports event. Even most "live" events have a delay added to allow for someone saying out of turn!
