Look back at a century of British broadcasting with this programme of exhibitions
CONNOR MCGOVERN
TUNE IN

On 14 November 1922, the British Broadcasting Company began reporting from a studio on the Strand in London. A hundred years later, this rich heritage is the inspiration for the Science Museum Group's series of exhibitions up and down the country, celebrating both the BBC's centenary and the 40th anniversary of Channel 4.

At London's Science Museum, the BBC At 100 exhibition brings together a collection of artefacts from the past century, including a portable disc recorder used to report directly from the battlefields of the Second World War and a 1980s Cyberman costume from the 25th series of Doctor Who. The show focuses not just on broadcasting, but also on the pivotal role the Beeb has played in the nation's education, too, with a look at its Computer Literacy Project from the 1970s, right up to BBC Bitesize. Runs until January 2023.
