The first public television broadcast was made in 1929 by the newly formed BBC. Not only was it the first television broadcast in the UK, it was indeed the first broadcast in the world. The system in use was developed by John Logie Baird who first demonstrated it in 1925 and 1926. It was a black and white image and made up of just 30 lines. Compare that resolution with the 1080 lines that is becoming the norm for high quality television today.
The broadcasts continued until 1934 when a new television system was introduced in the UK and the BBC switched to the new system.
