The main part of this site is taken up by This is Direct Television from Alexandra Palace. This very personal look at the early days of BBC TV is based around the reminiscences of long-time BBC employee Arthur Dungate, in particular the broadcasts made from Alexandra Palace between 1952 and 1963. The topics covered include: individual programmes (such as Andy Pandy, Quatermass and Dixon of Dock Green as well as newsreels and the 1953 Coronation), personalities, like David Attenborough, Richard Dimbleby and the like,and more technical issues such as the EMI telecine and RCA sound system used at the time. The style is informal and colloquial and is liberally illustrated with stills and screen grabs. NB This is a reconstructed version of the site originally entitled ‘BBC Television, and other things’, compiled by Arthur Dungate.
