Tv
My late grandparents had a TV pre-war, which was the first in the area. They were horribly expensive. All the neighbours came to marvel at it. Rather like my uncle and aunt's colour TV in 1964ish.
I believe that services were restricted to a radius from Alexandra Palace (they were in Hounslow). I believe that it was found that aircraft coukd home in on TV transmisisons so they had to go. Ally Pally was at the time a byewater I gather of the BBC, rather like being 'sent to Siberia', and home to experimental work.
