What did the BBC ever do for television? Robin Cairns, Fringe veteran, tells the story of television's inventor in story and original songs. John Logie Baird's son-of-the-manse roots in Helensburgh and his early life and money struggles led to the pioneering discovery of TV. Continually frustrated by John Reith, dismissive boss of the BBC, fighting giant corporations like Marconi, helped by King George V but closed down by Hitler and enjoying a spicy and irregular love life, John Logie Baird comes alive in this entertaining and informative brand-new musical debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe.
