“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the magic of television…”

With those words Leslie Mitchell introduced Britain’s first high-definition public television programme. The date was 26th August ????. The venue was Radiolympia.
The year please 😀

[lucky]

WRONG!

in 1792, Inventor William Murdoch introduced coal-gas lighting in England. Murdoch succeeded in lighting his house and office in Cross Street, Redruth, by piped coal gas. This was the first time coal gas was used to illumiate a home or business.

was mitchell’s unveiling 1936??
i’m not sure………….. 😥

[englandboy – John]

Technically speaking, I was not wrong. Your question was: When was it first used – meaning, I would suppose, to the public. Using the gas in his own home was only for demonstration use. 😉

[lucky]

like you said, it was “USED”…………….if only for demonstration, but it’s my understanding he “USED” it for lighting…………..and i mentioned “First” used…….

but what the heck; as kenny stabler would say, “that’s nit-picking ref!!”

or, as Bhudda would say, “for exact communication, exact language is necessary…”

or, as pete rose would say, “it’s always just a game.”

let’s have it, England…………..
