studios and leave the world travel to its smaller counterparts. but what it missed in adventure, it made up for in the circle that socialised and it played host to filmmaker alfred hitchcock, poet ts eliot, legendary author hg wells and that is charlie chaplin. british singer and legend petunia clark began her career aged nine in front of one. in outlets, it's time to send along — in outlets, it's time to send along personal messages and greetings to you.... it along personal messages and greetings to you. . . ._ greetings to you. . .. it was 'ust to greetings to you. . .. it was just to say — greetings to you. . .. it was just to say hello, - greetings to you. . .. it was just to say hello, we - greetings to you. . .. it was just to say hello, we are i greetings to you. . .. it was i just to say hello, we are ok, don't worry about us, give a little bit of home use and that was at. during rehearsal there was at. during rehearsal there was the most enormous air raid and the producer asked if one of the can could come up and sing a song or say a piece of

poetry to calm things down and i go up on stage and they put a box so that they could reach the microphone, it was one of those big bbc microphones, you know. singing petunia clark there so while setting up singing careers and directing the second world war the microphone was clearly doing something right operationally, too. eyes had been on the groundbreaking ribbon microphone invented by the radio corporation of america and it was a little too expensive so in true bbc form, they made their own for less than 10% of what rca were charging stopping us going. the taipei state and use from 1934— 1959, a whole 25 years. that is a long time when technology was

developing so rapidly. so what about inside? that taipei is called a ribbon microphone. that is because behind the perforated cover is exactly that, a ribbon of metal. with the help of one of the trustee bbc engineering manuals, we can see that soundwaves come in from either the front or the back and hit the ribbon in the middle. so thin that it flexes and wiggles when the noise vibrations in the air hit it, just like your eardrum stopping the flexing moves the ribbon through a magnetic field created by two magnets on either side. created by two magnets on eitherside. doing created by two magnets on either side. doing this generates a very small voltage which is unique to the sound it is taking in. the microphone then creates to studio equipment that amplifies this up equipment that amplifies this up to a level that you can hear, and because the ribbon is a flat piece of metal, it can interpret vibrations from both sides. finally, of course, we want to hear a bit more of how the microphone sounds. well we can hear it in use by sirjohn

snag and who went on to become one of the first bbc television news readers. ——john snagge. he specially recorded with the microphone for this demo tape. this speech is recorded from a marconi velocity ribbon microphone. i marconi velocity ribbon microphone.— marconi velocity ribbon microphone. marconi velocity ribbon micro - hone. ., ., microphone. i will leave it to ou microphone. i will leave it to you then _ microphone. i will leave it to you then to _ microphone. i will leave it to you then to make _ microphone. i will leave it to you then to make up - microphone. i will leave it to you then to make up your. microphone. i will leave it to i you then to make up your mind for how that sounds. now, if you are a fan of radio, i've been really a fan of radio, then you will know what this is. pips. . they are called the pips and you will know it is something o'clock.- pips and you will know it is something o'clock. have you ever wondered _ something o'clock. have you ever wondered why - something o'clock. have you ever wondered why they - something o'clock. have you i ever wondered why they exist? ships. at the height of the british empire britain had a

lot more ships than anyone else anywhere in the world and their maps all needed to follow a strict format so they could figure out where they were. the centre of all british nautical charts was the greenwich meridian, o charts was the greenwich meridian, 0 degrees and each vessel also kept a fancy clock on board that told them local time at the meridian and help them to calculate their position really precisely. over long journeys, position really precisely. over longjourneys, how position really precisely. over long journeys, how could the captains keep those clocks accurate to the second? well, to bring in the new year in 1923, the bbc ran an experiment to broadcast the midnight songs of big ben on the radio. it was a bonding success and the following year the first fully accessible time signal, the greenwich time signal, started to be broadcast every hour and it hasn't stopped since. the pips, as they were known, were generated by a swinging

pendulum fitted with electrical contacts. so now you could have accurate greenwich mean time literally anywhere that you had a radio. the pips have become legendary, a symbol of bbc radio, and who better to tell us about them than another legend of radio, tony blackburn.— legend of radio, tony blackburn. ~ ., ., ., blackburn. welcome along to the tony blackburn _ blackburn. welcome along to the tony blackburn show— blackburn. welcome along to the tony blackburn show this - tony blackburn show this tuesday the ninth of december, the thing is up until the seven o'clock aleister black the pips have always been a favourite of mine since 1967 when they joined the bbc and open up radio 1. good morning everyone, welcome to the exciting news hour of radio 1 stopping people think it's about where like them but they do stopping particularly my favourite is always the last one because it is slightly extended. it is very bbc but they were very useful at one time because before all of these smart watches you would just have an

ordinary watch which used to probably lose a minute a day or something like that so i used to set my watch by the pips stopping nowadays because with the smart watches and things like that you don't it quite so much but it is still very bbc and i still like it, i wouldn't want to see it disappear stopping off we go to the next one and what a lovely sound this is as well.— this is as well. the original clock that _ this is as well. the original clock that kept _ this is as well. the original clock that kept the - this is as well. the original clock that kept the time i this is as well. the original. clock that kept the time still is that in the museum at the royal observatory. in the 60s, though, anatomic clock started doing thejob which though, anatomic clock started doing the job which stayed in use until the 1990s when it transmitted at last pips from the royal observatory. ever since then, the bbc has generated its own pips from its atomic clock buried deep inside broadcasting house which uses gps signals to stay synchronised. so the next time you hear these, you know that they come from this. pips. ok,

time for a look at this week's tech news now. first up mark zuckerberg has unveiled meta's new vr headset at its annual event held for developers. with a pricetag ofjust under $1500, is almost four times the price of meta's current headset stopping the british artist damien hirst has begun earning hundreds of his own as as part of an experiment to test the value of physical paintings versus digital works. buyers who bought pieces from his latest collection were asked to choose either the physical artwork or the nft representing it. those who chose the nft's were told their corresponding physical pieces would be destroyed.— physical pieces would be destroyed. physical pieces would be destro ed. , ., destroyed. the nft is all cost £2000 and — destroyed. the nft is all cost £2000 and they _ destroyed. the nft is all cost £2000 and they all— destroyed. the nft is all cost £2000 and they all have - destroyed. the nft is all cost £2000 and they all have the l e2000 and they all have the possibility of being traded in for a physical artwork and these ones are the ones that people decided not to trade in. could riding on rollercoasters because phones to call emergency services? according

to the wall streetjournal, six emergency calls were made at one us amusement park after rides caused new iphones to react as though they had been in a crash. apple didn't deny the fault and says the text will continue to improve over time. and a healthcare company has teamed up with microsoft to make health products more accessible for blind people stopping the new enhancements to the new microsoft seeing ai at will provide important information on more than 1500 everyday products including toothpaste and aspirin. listen to that. gorgeous, isn't it? we all love a bit of nature, and programmes like spring watch, an annual tv show that watches british wildlife through the changing seasons offers a unique insight into these animals lives. for programmes like this to run, it requires a lot of time, effort and equipment, with over 60

crew and 35 cameras. it is one of the biggest outside broadcasts that the bbc offers. so it needs a lot of power. but in an effort to be more green, and protect the wildlife they feature, springwatch has taken a number of measures to cut down their emissions. we turned up to one of their production bases to see what they are. this is the big one — the green hydrogen generator. why is it called green hydrogen? because the process of electrolysis used to separate the hydrogen from water is powered by solar energy. if it was powered by fossil fuels then it would be known as blue or black hydrogen. not so good, kind of defeats the purpose. but with solar, you are using clean energy to make clean energy. compared to diesel generators, it is a 3.5—tonne reduction based on what we normally do with a couple of weeks use. a couple of weeks, 3.5 tonnes? yeah. the only two things that this outputs is heat and brand—new water, the newest water in the universe. this is where it comes out.

it is all there is, it is brand new. it's absolutely pure. tastes the weirdest thing, no taste at all. it is all texture. nothing to it. no minerals, no nothing. not keen? no, it's fine, itjust goes in your mouth and disappears. this is the site we are working on, 4,000 acres we have access to, which is a huge area to cover. so we have been putting fibre across the whole site and as a way of trying to keep things down, working on co2, we put fibre down once and leave it for the duration. we have nodes up and down the site where we can connect to as we come back and go live. you must have your favourite name here, right? i know what my favourite is. we'll go for that.

they also have solar—powered cameras they have installed on sites such as in this beehive here. so there is a sustained effort across the site to lower emissions, but also off—site a lot of producers are now utilising the work from home way of working so they don't spend unnecessary fuel going to sites. and for the really remote sites, they are using solar panels to power up the recording set—ups. there is also one more special thing about this system. it uses al to flag a clip when an animal appears, and tries to identify it. so this year we have 32 wildlife cameras across the site. all of those need to be monitored and logged for activity 2a hours a day. that is a fairly intensive process when it comes to labour, so bbc r&d have come up with al tools that will help identify different forms of wildlife. they are very accurate. species of birds are often quite distinct, so it's very good at identifying birds of different shapes and colours, so it performs very well. these changes aren't without cost.

as mentioned earlier, the green hydrogen generator isn't normally as cheap as a diesel powered one. and new ways of working always require some adjustment — but the team want to do what they can to set an example. it hasn't been seamless, but they were very determined to take advantage of that new carbon—friendly technology and we pioneered it. using new technologies that have been pioneered in science and bringing them to media is, from my point of view, really exciting. and the guys in the van here, our story developers, we asked them "was that the male, the female, "that one, that one"? ai and all that technology we have got is telling us instantaneously. but we are not going to save the world on our own, we won't save the reputation of the media when it comes to environment on our own. we need sport, we need light entertainment, we need drama, everyone has to buy into this. change is never convenient or easy, but the team here at springwatch are taking strides forward to help the bbc reach its goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

and here's hoping when it comes to powering our devices, this is a sign of things to come. omar there in norfolk. meanwhile at manchester's science and industry museum, 100 years of the bbc is being celebrated with a exhibit featuring broadcast artefacts, plus a few more recent additions. this funky looking box was a prototype which was an early part of the bbc�*s research and development project for storing your data yourself, so the idea was that the device would keep track of what you are listening to and watching, but that data was just yours, unless you chose for it not to be. it was inspired by a new vision that said tim berners—lee had for the web to rethink the ownership of our data. back in 2018, he told us about what he calls a midcourse correction

for the internet, an idea called solid.— for the internet, an idea called solid. . ., ., called solid. imagine a world where before _ called solid. imagine a world where before you _ called solid. imagine a world where before you use - called solid. imagine a world where before you use an - called solid. imagine a world where before you use an appi called solid. imagine a world i where before you use an app it says to you, where do you want to store this data? all across the data spectrum, have complete control over your private and personal data, which is very exciting vision, i think for those people who get an inkling of what is going to be like. get an inkling of what is going to be like-— get an inkling of what is going to be like. right now when we interact with _ to be like. right now when we interact with companies - to be like. right now when we interact with companies over i interact with companies over the internet, often without even thinking about it, we give them our data, lots of it. every website, app or streaming platform gathers information on us, our name and age, what we like to share, our files, photos, in fact all of our online browsing habits. platforms use this data to create recommendations, improve algorithms, orsometimesjust for the purpose of selling it. but tim berners—lee's idea turns this on its head, giving power back to the individual.

with solid, as users travel across the internet, although data is stored in something called upon. this is an individual�*s databank in the cloud which only they, all those they give them permission to, and see. so instead of the data freely flowing to companies when they want to access it, they have to ask for the user's permission. if this is approved they can look into the pod to view or add information. with pods, because you are in control, you can share what you have watched or listened to on one part on with the others, something the companies would never want you to be doing, but it means you could get more personalised recommendations. and if you want to stop using a service, you can cut off access to your data. or you could even more dramatically, delete the pod, destroy all the data, and remove all trace of anything you have ever done on the internet. you have ever done on the internet— internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, _ internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but - internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but it - internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but it is - internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but it is not| internet. yes, it is a big. endeavour, but it is not a ridiculously huge endeavour. what is exciting right now is

coming in towards the south and west later in the day. after a cold night in scotland, we'll start saturday with some rain in the west, having gone through northern ireland overnight. rain across north—west england, wales, too. all of these heavy downpours sweep eastwards during the day, some reaching east anglia and the south—east later in the afternoon. after some showers in the morning have cleared away, then a few hours of fine weather. once you clear through the heavy and thundery downpours, further scattered showers arrive into the afternoon, particularly across the north and west of the uk. getting windier — gales through the irish sea and adjacent coasts. a cold—feeling day in scotland when you get the showers and wind — maybe some snow through the highest ground out of these. as we go on into saturday night, you can see all these showers becoming mainly confined to northern areas where it stays quite windy. it does mean a milder night and, going into sunday morning in scotland, it does mean a touch colder the further south you are, where you've become mainly dry with clear spells. so, on sunday, still blustery and showery,

especially in scotland first thing, but here's the gap many of us find ourselves in during sunday with fine weather to come. here's the next weather system moving in — some uncertainty about timing, but towards southern england, parts of wales, especially northern ireland going on through sunday evening, it will be turning wetter by then. and after a brief lull in the wind, the winds will pick up again as this system moves in. so, here it is, it sweeps its wet weather north and east overnight and into monday morning and, still on monday, early rain clearing away from the far south—east, but further heavy downpours to come in scotland, especially north and west. showers for northern ireland, northern england, perhaps north wales, too. northern areas staying windiest on monday, whereas for much of england and wales and especially the further south you are, it is looking like another spell of fine weather after some overnight rain. and after that, largely fine on tuesday, then another weather system coming in towards the south—west later in the week, with a lot of uncertainty about how quickly it will move any wetter weather northwards.
