Notes

'The cameras to be used are the new super-sensitive type (at least four times as sensitive as the ordinary film camera) which were so successful when they televised the recent Itma broadcast attended by the King and Queen at Broadcasting House. On that occasion there was only normal ‘house lighting’, apart from two 500-watt lamps to avoid shadows, and at the Regal only the usual stage lighting will be used.' (John Swift, ‘Cinderella’s Prince Charming’, Radio Times, 26 December 1947, p. 31.)
