Everyone,
Does anyone recall an episode of 'Till Death, when Alf goes to see his
physician for a sore throat, only to discover that he's on holiday, and
his replacement is Black? I'm looking for any details on the show,
particularly the tx date....

Synopsis (From the foreword by Sir David Attenborough)
The very fIrst publicly-transmitted television in the world
came trom a tiny studio in Alexandra Palace in 1936. Its only
viewers were a few hundred visitors to an exhibition in west
London, promoted by a group of radio manufacturers. Among
those watching it taking shape in the studio was a young radio
critic, Grace Wyndham Goldie. By the time she retired trom
the BBC's Television Service, less than thirty years later,
television programmes were dominating the leisure hours of
the majority of the British population.
And it was Grace who influenced to an extraordinary
degree what it was they watched. She supervised the gestation
and birth of the fIrst regular arts programme, the fIrst nightly
magazine programme, the fIrst topical satire programme. She
devised the ground rules governing the ways in which
politicians presented themselves to the electorate. She also
selected and fostered the careers of a succession of young
programme makers, many of whom went on to occupy the
most powerful seats in British broadcasting.
The Author
John Grist worked for BBC television for many years both for and
alongside
Grace, becoming a senior
executive He was also responsible for implementing television
broadcasting
trom The Palace of
Westminster.
