T he history of television
Way back in the early 1800s the
television was being invented, It all
started with the idea that you could
scan images and broadcast those
images to people and you would
see these images as frames and you
would see multiple frames a second
to create a moving picture. Unlike
cinemas there wasn’t a projector just
a wheel with holes. In the wholes
where small images which would be
magnified onto the screen. This was
created in the 1920s.

When looking for research for TV it was difficult but I found a few really useful sources. For the research on
BBC I found that all there shows that have aired from their first show in 1934 right up to 2007, this made
it quite easy to look at all the work of the BBC and because they have taken it from the radio times there
are air times, dates and most of them have descriptions so that it was pretty easy to understand what each
show was about. If you are interested I suggest checking it out at https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/
bbctv. It is really good that the BBC have done this and I think more channels should do things like this.
When looking up comedy I used more old fashioned techniques and read books, the book I used was the
television hand book by Jonathan Bignell and Jeremy Orlebar and is useful I you want to look into TV re-
gardless of what genre you are doing. I would recommend reading it if you are into TV and want to create
your own TV show. I also looked at videos. I found and interview with Seinfeld done by the New York Times
which was really useful about writing jokes. For the office I found that they have made a 40 minute long
documentary on it and it was really interesting I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys The Office. The arti-
cle is written and researched by Joseph Ruffell.
