1939 at the Chelsea Flower Show
We're going to start to dip into the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's quite awe-inspiring picture library (mysteriously named 'Elvis') for a daily picture here on the blog. To get us going, here's a photograph take during a TV outside broadcast in 1939, during the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's first phase of television experimentation, before it was shut down for the duration of the Second World War. In the picture you'll see Elizabeth Cowell, one of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's first TV presenters, and gardener and broadcasting legend C.H. Middleton.
