Another splendid upload, BBC! And apologies to Mr Cholmondley-Warner for having watched this at home.
“it includes a dreadful girl”
He's C-W's double
Indeed, I stepped out to remain properly compliant for without propriety and compliance where indeed would the Empire be?
Indeed. I'm sure Grayson would forgive you, Mr Cholmondley-Warner on the other hand, perhaps not.
Aka Leslie Mitchell
Harry Enfield must have watched this back in the day.I thought that the women were going to talk about kittens and how lovely they are
Women…. Know your place! 😂
I don’t know anything about the gold standard.
The whole thing would be just frightfully dreadful.
"This picture is very intense in color"
*colour 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Crazy to see that TV content really hasn't changed much in the last 90 odd years
I don't think they were throwing invertebrates at Z-list, no mark celebrities back in 1936. 😉👍
That presenter would look down his nose at Jacob Rees Mogg
So should any human with a lick of sense.
The famous English smile😂
It's amazing to see this program at the moment
I can't help but feel that, in 1937, that girl in the bathing suit being spun around, legs akimbo, by the skaters in tails, would have served as some kind of period pornography!
No they had real pornograghy in the 30s, and before.
@@benfisher1376 oh don't be silly; everyone knows that folks didn't even have genitalia before the 1960s!
“Good evening Grayson”
Ah yes, the science of palm-reading
When the BBC was an EXCELLENT service worth paying for!
When roller skating was performed in tails.
That skating lady must have been extremely dizzy after all that
👀Those skaters!!! Amazing and terrifying!
Johny Nit was brilliant, too.
The First shows were in 1936 when the service launched, initially on a demonstration basis at Radiolympia then the full service later in the year.
Just so interesting and yet so strange. If for some reason I woke up in 1937 I don't know how I would cope. They would probably stick me in a madhouse.
If I woke up in 1937 I’d jump for joy.
@@kamandi1362 Not if you lived in the cities that got bombed during ww2
If I woke up in 1937 the first thing I’d do is breathe
👏🏼splendid
lovely
I love how the emphasis was on live broadcast, not "film". This happened with radio as well (as opposed to "merely" playing records) . I get where they'd want to focus on "live" because this was NEW, but did the set owning audience actually care? To me, if I was a 1930s television receiver owning person, I'd be satisfied that the whole damned thing WORKED at all!
Crazy thing is though is that the entertainment seams as good if better than today 😂
Back then, the British Empire still existed.
This is not TV! it´s a film!
3:03 That energetic chap on skates and in tails. Did he perhaps lose his top hat during the whirling frenzy of manhandling the poor maidservant in skimpy undergarments?
❤❤❤❤❤
Not sure which is more bizarre 1937 or 2022 entertainment
No contest - today's BBC is getting worse and worse
2022
2022 by far. Woke shite forced upon all of us! Unfortunately I fear it is only going to get worse

@@Jabberstax no, it’s getting better with Strictly and Gladiators.
Leslie Mitchell and jasmine bligh with Elizabeth Cowell our the bbc announcers here from 1936
I thought the last bit was an early edition of the black and white minstrel show for a moment
Gosh I just about cracked up when the lady reading hands came on. Put a headscarf on her and she would have been typical of a palm reader on Gt Yarmouth seafront LOL! That was quite bizarre.
She must have been the love child of the Sea Hag (from the Popeye comics), and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Johnny Nit the only skilled person shown
he died young 37??
John Piper looks a right laugh, doesn't he?
Big fan of modern art. Or ancient art as we call it now.
Actually, John Piper and John Betjeman worked on the Shell guides, and they never stopped laughing.
WHY!!!!This channel has few subscribers?????
Probably because the comment section is full of bigots and dinosaurs, with proper moderation the channel would likely appeal to a lot more people.
@@krashd Some specific examples would help people appreciate how you are applying the definition of the labes to which you actually refer.
This is the BBC in a posh accent, see where Harry Enfield got he’s ideas now
Wow, my grandpa was not even born back then, (btw he is born in 1942)
This is just a filmed transmission! Nothing else!
😊
Not sure if W can book this talent now?
It'll never catch on!
Where's Grayson
It's scarey to think that all of the people in this video are deceased🙁
"Attyempted"
Jordan Peterson time travelling
back when britain was still great
England in those days looks so much nicer than England today.
Shite today
It was getting bombed back then by the Germans I doubt it
@John Evans I was born 1967 , so a 70s kid, what great times I had 👍
@John Evans I would hate to be a kid today 😬😬
It was certainly a more gracious, genteel and civilised Country.
Damn the oral hygiene wasn't very good back then thats for sure lol
The figure skaters and the tap dancer should appear on Strictly :-)
This seems more entertaining than what is presently on the BBC, hahaha?
"A load of weirdo's wiv poncy voices"
Is Dr Charlotte Wolf Joseph Goebbels in disguise 😯
She was a jewess.
Its the wicked witch of the west just warming up
Wonderful Received Pronunciation accents. Droopy eyelids makes the male presenters look either stoned or just bored !
Ah, Received Pronunciation were the days of clear Pronunciation, Diction and Enunciation.
It was in the late1960s my Father commented on why the actors were shouting at each other when they were effectively in each others faces. When people are shouting, their speech invariably lacks the clarity of RP.
Whether accidental or deliberate, it had the effect of changing how People would sometimes interact.
I wonder what the pronouns are?
It would depend on what class you were and who you were allowed to address.
Not nearly as sophisticated as I expected. 1937 and already searching for the lowest common denominator.
ofc there is blackface
Same "light entertainment" garbage as today. Alrhough the BBC made quite a few decent educational programs in 1990s and 2000s.
Who knew after 85 years the channel will become so WOKE.
What would Lord Reith have said about the deliberately permitted perversion of the BBC, a once previously respected World Wide broadcasting organisation.
BBC went downhill once regional accents were broadcast.
Do grow up.
Why?
stop being catcist!
BBC television today is absolute rubbish, especially the programmes broadcast on weekday mornings. The same applies to ITV. Suffice it to say that I watch very little television these days.
