Here is the camera being operated from the stage box. Apparatus, of course, includes sound synchro nisation, and an interesting point in last night's broadcast was that for 90 seconds, while the duelling scene was being played in a blue light too dim for the cameras to pick up, "stand-ins" performed the scene at Alexandra Palaec. actual sounds being relayed from the theatre stage.

This section of the interior of the van gives some idea of the intricate apparatus required for the work. The approximate cost of these mobile television unite is £25,000. The two-screens by which the pro ducer saw the action of the play are visible at the far end of the van behind the heads of the assistants. It was from the van itself that the actual broadcast went on to the ether.
A television set was placed in Binnic Hale's dressing-room so that she could follow the action of the play while not on the stage herself, She is seen with Roger Troville, who played opposite her, watching Botty Warren and Jerry Verno as Julika and Jarvis in a knockabout bicycle scene. The show, including intervals, occupied television screens in thousands of homes for just on three hours from 8.15 p.m. until 11.10 p.m. To introduce the actors amil actresses to the unseen audience, captions were flashed on screens in place of programmes.
