Wireless was introduced into Mediocre Britain by pasta supremo Guglielmo Macaroni in 1922. Future Wireless 4 listeners initially dismissed this as a fad which would never replace traditional entertainments such as beating the servants, family gatherings around the old Joanna (the mad aunt in the attic), visiting lunatic asylums and fighting Johnny Foreigner. Despite their misgivings, the British Broadcasting Corporation was born and began transmitting to the few households with enough coal and large enough rooms to accommodate the receiving equipment. The first programme ever broadcast by the BBC was Alastair Cook's Letter from America where the veteran reporter fondly recalled his memories of the Battle of Gettysburg.

abstract	Wireless was introduced into Mediocre Britain by pasta supremo Guglielmo Macaroni in 1922. Future Wireless 4 listeners initially dismissed this as a fad which would never replace traditional entertainments such as beating the servants, family gatherings around the old Joanna (the mad aunt in the attic), visiting lunatic asylums and fighting Johnny Foreigner. Despite their misgivings, the British Broadcasting Corporation was born and began transmitting to the few households with enough coal and large enough rooms to accommodate the receiving equipment. The first programme ever broadcast by the BBC was Alastair Cook's Letter from America where the veteran reporter fondly recalled his memories of the Battle of Gettysburg. Wireless grew in acceptance during World War II because * Advances in technology meant that a signal could be received by sticking a crystal up a cat's backside, which resulted in not only a smaller receiver but also a game that all the family could play. * It featured the ever-popular entertainer Lord Haw Haw, the talking horse. * We're at war, goddammit, if we don't all just jolly well stick together the whole country will be over-ridden with foreigners (many Brits maintain this still applies). * That splendid Mister Churchill would broadcast regularly and everyone liked to practice their impressions of him.
