Special broadcast programmes

The British Broadcasting Corporation marked the occasion of the Tercentenary by a number of broadcasts in television and sound. The proceedings in the Royal Albert Hall on 19 July were televised, and a recording of the Tercentenary Address was broadcast in the Home Service in the evening. A recording of the Address and a commentary on the Opening Ceremony was broadcast in the General Overseas Service. On the evening of 19 July at 9.15 p.m. His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, F.R.S., introduced a special Tercentenary programme in B.B.C. Television. In it four other Fellows—Professor E. N. da C. Andrade, Sir John Cockcroft, Professor A. C. B. Lovell, and Professor C. F. A. Pantin— recalled the advance of science over the past three centuries. From April to July i960 the B.B.C. televised two important series to mark the Tercentenary. Eye on Research, a weekly series of nine outside broadcast programmes, showed the current work of some of the Fellows of the Royal Society. This was followed by six programmes entitled Life Before Birth, dealing with the biological development of the individual and showing the work of more than twenty leading scientists, many of them Fellows of the Royal Society
