There are a number of "firsts" for television programs.

John Logie Baird, a Scotsman living in London produced the worlds first working television system which was demonstrated to the public in 1925. The content was no more than a head and shoulders shot of a man. This is the very first ever transmission to be seen by the public.

In 1929, the BBC began the worlds first scheduled television broadcasts and aired a number of experimental programs over the following few years.

In 1930, the BBC broadcast the very first television drama, the play "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth". This perhaps might be considered to be the first scripted entertainment program.
