The Band Wagon
Watching #TheBandWagon and looking up #JackBuchanan's Wikipedia. Who knew he was a telly pioneer and had been at school with #JohnLogieBaird?
"On 12 June 1928, Buchanan participated in the first-ever transatlantic television broadcast. It was conducted by Scottish engineer John Logie Baird, an important figure in the technological development of television."

If you're interested in radio or television history or technology, or #Orkney in general, you might enjoy The Televisor, a short film I have made which premieres on YouTube tonight at 7pm. Kim Foden tells the story of how her father and uncle first brought TV to Orkney using a home-made radio televisor.
