Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...

Written/performed by comedian, broadcast historian and British Comedy Award-winning writer (Miranda, Not Going Out, Top Gear) Paul Kerensa, this one-man show informs, educates and entertains about the BBC’s origins. Relive the early 1920s with tales, clips and landmark re-enactments: the first BBC broadcast, first children’s, drama, music and more. With a Radio 4 drama based on this show, and a forthcoming book, this tale of how the Beeb began and where it got us - plus what it's like there today and what's next - is both timely and fascinating, shining a light especially on forgotten female pioneers there at the start but much overlooked - from Britain's first DJ to the incredible tale of the first radio dramatist who became the first TV chef. 

“Paul has a brilliant way of bringing these stories to life. I’ve worked in radio for decades but didn’t know any of this tale of how broadcasting began.” review of The British Broadcasting Century podcast
