Adelaide Hall - Variety In Sepia - October 1947
This is the earliest surviving BBC telerecording. The film features Adelaide Hall performing two songs from a variety programme "Variety In Sepia" staged at the National Exhibition Hall at Olympia (radiolympia) in October 1947. This sequence was recorded by the 35mm Suppressed Field system (with no spot wobble). The wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip filmed from live television in 1947 is also known to survive. The first complete outside broadcast surviving from live television is 'The Cenotaph Service' featuring The Remembrance Service in November 1947. This film footage is from the Archive Collection held and administered by the Alexandra Palace Television Society. www.apts.org.uk ~ APTS ~ Preserving the televisual past for the digital future
