from Helensburgh
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Logie Baird, the inventor of television, one of the most important means of modern communication. Ian Gall travels to Baird's birthplace, Helensburgh, to meet his widow Margaret and to talk to some contemporary communicators.
He visits Margaret Nicol, who teaches home economics in a residential school for girls with special needs, and Ian MacKenzie who heads the BBC's religious broadcasting department in Scotland and lives in the town.
