In order to write about ways in which the BBC has changed in the period between 1922 and 1972, an introduction to the BBC, the first broadcasting cooperation in the UK, is required.

This show was originally produced in America with the first episode screening on 12th July 1976. It was shown by the American Broadcasting Company, C.B.S and NBC. An Australian version of this show was first aired in 1977 with various remakes up until 2014 when Channel Ten revived the show with Grant Denyer as the host, and a viewing time of 6.00 pm. from

The video Worst ever pitch, Worst ever product on BBC’s Dragons Den I found to be confusing. From the beginning of the video the inventor did not make a clear presentation of the problem his invention was going to help alleviate.
