| Admin/Biog History | 'London Town' was an early British television series fronted by Richard Dimbleby who, with an outside film camera crew, would visit some of the more interesting and unusual parts of the city. For the first time, TV cameras could introduce viewers to London's life, customs and traditions. Pre-filmed outside sequences were mixed with live studio interviews, sometimes employing a 'staged' scenic set to give the impression of a roaming camera doing an impromptu interview. The programme ran from 1950 to 1952, when its subject matter was extended to include the whole of the country and it was renamed 'About Britain'.
George Davey, who was employed by M. Knoedler & Co., is listed in the script as appearing in the programme as a 'bidder'. |
