How the fledgling 麻豆社 Television Service covered the coronation of King George VI.
麻豆社 Parliament marks the 80th anniversary of the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on 12 May 1937. Just five months after its launch, the 麻豆社 Television Service showed an hour-long live outside broadcast of the 1937 Coronation procession to the Abbey for its small number of television viewers. This was the first outside broadcast by the 麻豆社 and no copy of the live output survives. 麻豆社 film cameras were on hand though to record the remarkable achievement for this 41/2 minute film.
