British television was born in 1936, however it was short lived being closed down three years later for World War II - and right in the middle of a Mickey Mouse cartoon. One of the early presenters was Jasmine Bligh - chosen from1,122 hopeful applicants. With the war over, the television service re-started. Just one channel, the BBC. To open it, there was Jasmine again. Good afternoon everybody. How are you? Do you remember me, Jasmine Bligh? This 70 minute 35mm film was made in the Spring of 1946 to be both broadcast on BBC television and shown to cinema audiences. The concept was to explain what television really is... As Jasmine says, it is to be watched at home in front of a fire. https://youtube/watch?v=b8XL0IfipLI
