BBC TV. BBC One came much later. Obviously after BBC 2 started in the '60s.

The next one it suggests has far more detail...

Interesting in the first link how those original TV pictures (well,
films made the same day at least - nice clean 4x3 black and white)
have never looked worse: cropped to 14x9, BBC DOG, and BBC News logo.
Great to see standards have improved so much!

Given that they're trying to show the origins of TV, why the heck
would they crop it to 14x9, chopping the tops of people's heads off!!!

Cheers,
David.

Wasn't it simply "The Television Service" ...?

That was, I think, an in-house description; it was just "BBC Television"
for the public.

I suppose it might have been. Seems it didn't have viewers either at
first. They were lookers in or somesuch. ;-)

I'm pretty certain the captions said BBC TV by the time I first saw it in
the early '50s.

Imagine the size of the spinning wheel required to produce 1080p HD
colour pictures. Perhaps someone could work it out?

I expect we'll now be treated to repeats of the Grove Family

I seem to recall that when someone started a sentence with "Well, ...",
Kathleen Harrison's character always piped up with "Nicely, thank you".
