The Royal Institution, London, Annual Christmas Lectures to Young People by Geoffrey Gouriet, Chief Engineer, BBC Research and Development

Nowadays, we all take for granted our transistor radios, hi-fi, and colour television sets. Yet to people 50 years ago all these things would have appeared absolutely fantastic.
With the use of many fascinating experiments Geoffrey Gouriet takes us back even farther-to those first exciting responses of magnetism and electricity which meant the birth of radio as we know it today.
