Beatrice Harrison (1892 – 1965) was a British cellist. She was active in the first half of the 20th century. Beatrice Harrison's performances became well known through broadcast in the early days of BBC sound radio. One night in 1924 when Beatrice was playing her cello in her garden at Oxted, she heard a bird echo her playing. She started again, and the bird sang with her. The sound was so beautiful, and she knew it was a nightingale. Surprisingly, the next nights after that, the nightingale was there again, and Beatrice played duets with the wild bird. It was so nice: she wanted to share her pleasure with other people. She decided to persuade the BBC to set up their microphones in the garden. After some time, they were able to record the tune. These records became successful and very popular in the 1930s.

While radio broadcasting was still in its infancy the marvel of television was already being developed. The first step towards its invention was taken in 1873 but the person responsible for developing it was John Logie Baird. In 1926 he gave the first demonstration of a television picture. As a home entertainment, television rapidly became more popular than any other form. A news broad cast b ecame more immediate when people could actually see the scene in question and the movements of the figures. Films could be viewed in the comfort of the home and variety shows were also available. One of the advantages of travel progarmmes was the glimpse of far – away places which many viewers would not o therwise have seen. Though much of the entertainment was of a popular kind like quiz competitions, some remarkable cultural programmes were also broadcast. Just as with radio in earlier days, the publicit y given to actors and actresses on the screen meant that a group of personalities became familiar in every household. One o f the most popular programmes was the televised coverage of sports and an interesting result of the television b roadcast was the increased attendance at the actual events. How far this was due to a growth in interest in the game and how far out of the spectators’ desire to appear on the screen is not clear
