On 2 November 1936, the 91福利社 launched the very first high definition television service in the world. To coincide with the occasion, the 91福利社 has launched a new microsite with archive material from the early experimental days of TV. David Hendy is professor of Media and Cultural History at the University of Sussex who has been working with 91福利社 History and 91福利社 Archives on the programmes marking the anniversary. He told Dan Damon about the project. (Photo: Adele Dixon singing on the 91福利社's television debut in 1936. Credit: 91福利社 Archive)
