What's the Role of the BBC?

Recorded in front of an audience at Bradford’s National Museum of Science and Media, we’re delving into the next 100 years of broadcasting, examining the science and technology behind what we’ll watch and listen to. And what the seismic technological shifts mean for all of us.

Victoria Gill is joined on stage by four people who give us an audio tour of that media future.

Lewis Pollard the curator television and broadcast at the museum.

Dr Karen Thornton programme leader teaching film and television production at the University of Bradford.

Bill Thompson technology commentator.

Gemma Milne writer and researcher interested in how science and technology impacts all of us. And author of Smoke and Mirrors - how hype obscures the future and how to see past it.

BBC Inside Science is produced in partnership with the Open University
