moments illuminated by images from the BBC archive. Created 100
years ago, on 18 October 1922, the BBC transformed people's lives
at the turn of a dial, bringing voices out of the ether and
conjuring the magic community of radio. Now, our lives are
inextricably linked to broadcasting. It is how we remember where we
