7:30 pm
the baird camera was enormous. the emi one was somewhat more portable. and if you are filming with the baird system, you need quite a lot of make—up too. well, this is how it was, playmates. black and white, you see? and a bit of blue down each side of the nose. very sexy. the emi system on the other hand could capture a well lit studio perfectly fine, so the winner really wasn't hard to choose. under the lid of the emitron was this, a cathode—ray tube which is basically an old tv working in reverse, capturing the pictures instead of showing them. the emitron stayed in use without much change for many, many years. the coronation of king george vi was the first time the cameras were used outside and the broadcast was watched by about 50,000 viewers. we have got two of our cameras high up and the gate ourselves. _
7:31 pm
however, it was the coronation of his daughter that really brought television into our homes. 70 years later, many millions of us watched the queen's funeral on smart tvs, phones, laptops, or on huge screens around the country, demonstrating just how far technology has moved on. now, if you are a fan of radio, i mean, really a fan of radio, then you will know what this is. pips. they are called the pips, and when you hear them, you will know it is something o'clock. i find them quite soothing. but have you ever wondered why they exist? ships. the pips tell ships what time it is and help them navigate. 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,
7:32 pm
0 degrees, and each vessel also kept a fancy clock on board that told the local time at the meridian and helped them to calculate their position really precisely. but 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 bongs of big ben on the radio. big ben bongs it was a bonging 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.
7:33 pm
the pips have become legendary, a symbol of bbc radio, and who better to tell us about them than another legend of bbc radio, tony blackburn. archive: welcome along - to the tony blackburn show this morning for this tuesday 9th december. my thanks, as always tojohn dunn for swinging us up until the seven o'clock hour. the pips have always been a favourite of mine since 1967 when ijoined the bbc and opened up radio i. archive: good morning everyone, welcome to the exciting _ new sound of radio i. everybody else finds it a bit weird that i like them but i do. i love them. on my programmes, i used to promote them, particularly as my favourite pip is always the last one because it is slightly extended. the original clock that kept the time still sits in the museum at the royal 0bservatory. in the �*60s, though, an atomic clock started doing the job which stayed in use until the i990s, when it transmitted its last pips from the royal 0bservatory. ever since then, the bbc has generated its own pips
7:34 pm
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 meanwhile at manchester's science and industry museum, 100 years of the bbc is being celebrated with an 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 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 sir tim berners—lee has for the web, to rethink the ownership of our data.
7:35 pm
back in 2018, he told us about what he calls a mid—course correction for the internet, an idea called solid. instead, imagine a world where before you use an app it says to you, where do you want to store this data? all across the data spectrum. you have complete control over your private and personal data, which is very exciting, an exciting vision, i think for those people who get an inkling of what it's going to be like. right now when we 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, ourfiles, photos, infact all of our online browsing habits. platforms use this data to create recommendations, improve algorithms, or sometimes just for the purpose of selling it. but tim berners—lee's idea turns this on its head, giving power back to the individual.
7:36 pm
with solid, as users travel across the internet, all their data is stored in something called a pod. this is an individual�*s databank in the cloud which only they, or those they give permission to, can 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 platform 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. yes, it is a big endeavour,
7:37 pm
but it is not a ridiculously huge endeavour. what is exciting right now is just at the point when we should be broadcasting this, we now have also a start—up, inrupt. four years on, it is a reality with bbc r&d working with inrupt to bring it to life. charlie, you have invited me to a party but it is no ordinary party. no, no, it's not. it is bbc together, it's a watch party, but the particular difference here is your data is being protected in a new way. watch parties allow friends to stream the same content at the same time, and they have exploded in the last few years. something like a third of under 30s actually had a watch party in the last 12 months, and it is really growing, so we have kind of built on the bbc�*s watch party and added the data pod element to it. as users log in, behind—the—scenes the software creates
7:38 pm
a pod for each person. here we go. and when you stop watching, this bbc trial shows you what data has been collected. we couldn't do a watch party without storing some data about you. the difference here is we are storing that data away from us, in your pod that you control. solid is just one of many ideas aiming to help us own our data. others, even allowing us to sell it, have failed to take off at scale — maybe the incentives haven't been right. but that could change. bbc r&d and tim berners—lee certainly think it might, and they have both been right before. so there you have it, 100 years of the bbc in 11 minutes. if you would like 100 years of the bbc in 23 minutes, the full—length version of this programme is available for you right now on iplayer. we will be back next week. thanks for watching.

hello again. if mo salah's six minute hattrick in midweek reignited liverpool's seaso, he's made it burn a lot brighter still this evening. his goal gave liverpool a 1—0 win over manchester city, handing the champions theirfirst premier league defeat of the season. nesta mcgregor reports. in recent years, these two teams have been neck and neck, although, so far this season, manchester city appear head and shoulders above liverpool with eight spaces between them at kick—off. the closest either team came to scoring in the first half was erling holland, the norwegian, though, not his usual clinical south. early in the second half, the same could be said for
7:41 pm
salah, the fingertips of the keeper denying the egyptian striker. that set the tone for a frantic series of events. minutes after, they'll fold and thought he'd broken the deadlock. however, the ar ruled his team—mate had committed a foul earlier in the attack. moments later, salah found himself with only the keeper to beat, same corner, different outcome. a big moment in a big match. liverpool would finish the game manager list. juergen klopp sent off or arguing with the assistant director be. but the home side hung on, three vital points and a much—needed boost. 0ne one of the pivotal moments was still floating's disallowed below, chalked up floating's disallowed below, chalked up for a foul in the build—up. a decision which pep guardiola felt wasn't in keeping with those that came during the rest of the game. to came during the rest of the game. trr play in these type of games, the referee said play on, play on, how many thousand million times four the

goal is given, yeah, that's the question. so when the referee decides to speak with the manager is, my assistant coach, and say that it happens all the time in that way. you cannot disallow the goal, but if you decide in the minutes that it someone else's fault,... trier? someone else's fault,... very important — someone else's fault,... very important. obviously - someone else's fault,... very important. obviously cannot l someone else's fault,... very important. obviously cannot be too picky— important. obviously cannot be too picky in_ important. obviously cannot be too picky in our— important. obviously cannot be too picky in our situation. i cannot decide, — picky in our situation. i cannot decide, choose games where we think we can— decide, choose games where we think we can have _ decide, choose games where we think we can have three points. we have to get three _ we can have three points. we have to get three points. the boys showed that obviously today, they that and against _ that obviously today, they that and against the best team in the world. it is incredibly difficult. but we deserved — it is incredibly difficult. but we deserved the three points with a really— deserved the three points with a really exceptional performance. manchester city's defeat means arsenal's lead at the top of the premier league is now four points after their 1—0 win at leeds. a match that was delayed by around a0 minutes after a power failure meant some of the referee's equipment didn't work. the referee then played a large part in the match,
7:43 pm
with mikel arteta's side having to stand firm as a leeds equaliser from patrick bamford was ruled out. then bamford missed a penalty, while the striker then also was given another with that and a subsequent red card for gabriel overturned after a video review. bukayo saka got the only goal i think we started really well. i think the first half we saw terrific moments where we should've put two or three in the back of the night. we didn't do that. the second half tended to be very different. i match more like what we expected, the way they played in the way they interacted in the stadium. after that we just had to survive. i think we showed our resilience and our willingness to win, going back to norway on a thursday night to come here a way that leeds. we have to win four matches. chelsea are still unbeaten under manager graham potter after a 2—0 win at aston villa. and it was their keeper kepa who kept
