Summary

COI synopsis: From the receiving end of television transmission - to the transmitting end. A party of Bolivian visitors came to the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Television Centre, in London, to see how the many departments involved in television production function. One of the more picturesque departments they saw was that where the many and varied properties used for television plays are stored. Here, any article of clothing, of whatever period, can be provided, along with such objects as carnival heads and stuffed birds.
