- 8 - HOPKINS SCIENCE REVIEW TO BE PRODUCED IN BBC STUDIOS The British Broadcasting Corporation has invited Lynn Poole, creator and producer of "The Johns Hopkins Science Review" to consult and work with its production staff at Alexandra Palace in London, and to produce three programs in the BBC studios, Mr* Poole will leave for London by plane on Tuesday, April 22, returning to the United States late in May. While there he will consult with British TV personnel, give several lectures and present three "Science Review" programs* For these programs British scientists will be the guests and demonstrate current developments in British science. These programs will be kinescoped and flown back to the United States and shown to the American audience at the regularly scheduled time, Mondays at 8:30 P.M. (E.S.T.) It is believed that this will be the first time a network television series has been invited to appear and originate its programs in a foreign country, and will be the first American television series to be presented in England from the BBC’s studios* One of the programs presented will be about British television itself; how it was developed, how programs are presented in England* The first television set to be developed in England by John Logie Baird will be shorn, as well as photographs and film taken from this set. Another of the programs will be broadcast remote from one of the British scientific institutions. The third program will cover the development of jet planes and will show the British passenger jet-propelled plane. This is the second international project of "The Johns Hopkins Science Review." Last year the French television directors requested kinescopes of the program through UNESCO* Two kinescopes were sent, shown on French television and have since been shown to many groups by UNESCO.
