Description

Antiques Roadshow is at Alexandra Palace, the birthplace of television, for this special edition programme to celebrate 100 years of broadcasting.

Radio 2 All Stars is a special with Dermot O'Leary bringing together some of his Radio 2 colleagues to talk about their incredible broadcasting careers. It is how we remember where we come from and who we are - from the Moon Landing to the 9/11 attacks, from Monty Python to EastEnders , from Live Aid to London 2012.

Recorded between autumn 2021 and spring 2022, the episode follows the team as they are invited to meet Charles, Prince of Wales, before his accession to the throne, and some of the students on The Prince’s Foundation’s building craft programme - a training initiative that teaches traditional skills such as blacksmithing, stonemasonry and wood carving.

Created with exclusive access to the BBC's archives, Broadcasting Britain is a unique celebration of British culture, with authoritative text by an acknowledged expert in the field. In a special show to celebrate the BBC’s 100th birthday, two teams of famous faces go head to head at an antiques fair in Newark. She discusses with Tom, with whom sh once shared a BBC office, the transition from in-front-of-the-screen to behind-the-camera as meet up in New York City. How The BBC Began will look at the challenges and triumphs of today’s BBC, which have their roots in the Corporation’s first half century. Saturday Kitchen Live will broadcast a special episode on 29th October to honour the BBC’s centenary year, celebrating the Corporation’s achievements in food broadcasting.In a special chart for National Album Day, produced by the Official Charts Company, the station will reveal the biggest all-time debut albums to be released in the UK (Saturday 15th October).

Broadcasting Britain- 100 years of the BBC is a vivid, thought-provoking and, most of all, entertaining celebration of a global cultural icon.Popular moments mix with lesser-known stories, such as Elisabeth Welch, one of the first black artists to have her own show on BBC radio in the 1920s; Douglas Byng, the first man in drag on BBC TV (incredibly as early as 1939); and Una Marson, the first black BBC radio producer (1941).

One avid collector of TV memorabilia arrives at the Roadshow in Del Boy’s Ford Capri from the hit sitcom Only Fools and Horses, while expert Will Farmer gets the chance to play quizmaster when he comes face-to-face with the original Mastermind chair brought in by Sally Magnusson. On Radio 3, a new play follows Reith and Churchill: two titans of 20th century Britain slug it out with the future of broadcasting, and the country, at stake. The material should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its own era - not those of today. the BBC goes global, as WWII sees the BBC move from broadcasting in eight languages to 48, as well as getting better at entertaining the nation to maintain morale. In 2022, the BBC will be the first broadcaster globally to mark 100 years of continuous broadcasting, launching a special year of content: events, bespoke commissioning, special programmes, publishing, and much, much more, celebrating UK culture, education, and climate and sustainability.and the prestigious BBC Shakespeare, while the merest lip-service is paid to the BBC's long history of adaptations of classic novels. That was Britain AND the BBC: sometimes ahead of the game, sometimes reflecting conservative social norms. Natasha also dips into the BBC archive as she takes a journey through 100 years of memorable moments, starting from its radio launch way back in 1922. As part of the BBC’s 100th anniversary programming, Konnie Huq celebrates the very best of British children’s television, with a dazzling array of clips from some of the most treasured programmes ever made, and revealing chats with some of TV’s most beloved stars; but Konnie also tells a perhaps more surprising story, of how kids’ TV has frequently been at the forefront of social change, in terms of the stories it tells, and the people who get to tell them.
