Hi! 👋 Here’s our #introduction. We’re BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future. For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting. We’re now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings. 5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzztGFXYR1Y
Will this one cover up Jimmy Savile, too? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/nov/02/jimmy-savile-bbc-journalists-risked-jobs-reveal-truth
I don’t think the IT R&D team had that much to do with Savile. And you don’t either.
ask about UFOs too while they’re here
I mean… the fact that elements within the BBC covered up the activities of Saville isn’t really disputable. That’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s just a crushing reality. Best case scenario, the BBC just negligently dropped the ball as an organisation for decades and that just specific individuals swept it under the rug and avoided detection. Whether that tarnishes the entire the entire organisation forever varies based on opinion.
but clearly i’m curious about something else
