A series of outstanding and memorable programmes to mark 40 years of BBCtv
Japan, China, the Soviet Union, Thailand, Holland, Poland, Germany. Israel, Brazil, India ...
Television, just 40 years after the first BBC transmission at Alexandra Palace, is truly global. Any country which does not have its own television service is a rarity. But what do they see on the 400-million sets throughout the world? What makes them switch on in Bangkok, Berlin and Baltimore? Tonight, with his personal choice from foreign programmes, Anthony Smith tries to find the answer to these questions.
