In 1922, three men - only one of whom had previously heard of ''broadcasting'' - founded the BBC. In doing so, Arthur Burrows, Cecil Lewis, and John Reith set out to accomplish something utterly bold: using what had been a weapon of war - Marconi''s wireless - to remake culture for the good of humanity. From Hollywood stars fainting at the microphone and fibreglass Daleks, to world-altering speeches and history being made on film, the BBC has evolved through massive technological and cultural change while always staying true to its vision of public service. In The BBC: A People''s History , the first one-volume history of the Corporation, professor and historian David Hendy traces the project through one hundred years of its extraordinary history.
