#ThrowbackThursday The world’s first television remote control. The wireless “Flash-Matic” was invented by Zenith engineer Eugene Polley in 1955.

"This Zenith was the first set sold with wireless remote control...This system uses Photoelectric cells in the four corners of the screen to control On/Off, mute and channel selection. Since it used regular visible light to control the functions (the remote was basically a flashlight), it was subject to all sorts of interference from room lighting or even sunlight if it was positioned facing a window.These problems spelled doom for this system and it was only used for one year. It was followed by Zenith's improved ultrasonic "Space-Command" system in 1956." -- VintageTVsets.com

During the chess scene when claudia won. Why do you think made lestat so angry. Is it cuz claudia was smarter than he thought. Or was it cuz he was scared cuz she played him and he didn’t see it coming. Or maybe he is afraid of her winning and him losing louis?

Ohhhh ok, so... there are layers to this one once more.

And my personal theory re the "broadcasting" plays into that. Imho, obviously.

Now. Sam has said that by then he could hear what they said to each other - however, Claudia and Louis make a very important distinction during that chess game: Louis "says": "I don't like what you're feeling right now." There is a distinction between sending out thoughts, and another receiving them - and not doing that, and another reading your thoughts and feelings. That is directly from the books, too, from Memnoch. So lets get back to the chess game with this in mind.

Lestat and Claudia start the game, she uses the Immortal strategy, which ultimately defeats him. (Have I said how much I adore that they went and learned those matches?!)

Lestat and Claudia snipe at each other, while both think something else. The actual words are not that important here though. Claudia's thoughts we can hear.

Lestat we can only observe.

So let's observe. Claudia says to Louis (broadcasting): "I've been having a thought the last few days."

Louis: "Yeah? What's that?"

Claudia: "I think he killed Magnus."

And... Lestat looks up, with this look (actual slow blink up):

There is nothing else for him to react to, but he quite clearly does.

I found the extra shot of his hands when the game continues quite interesting. He literally keeps them under the table, on his knees. In a way bracing himself. Extra shots are important and they always mean something. Imho they literally used those to show us his hands.

This is Lestat looking up at her when she says: "If you're going to beat Lestat, you have to become Lestat."

Again, there's not much for him to react to prior, but he does, if you rewatch. He's assessing.

And then his expression here, when she repeats that she is going to kill him - and Louis says that he will destroy her if she'll try. That's vague pride at Louis and some amusement.

And then right after, when she says: "I can kill him."

The amusement is gone, there is a vague worry, and possibly some abject pain. He wonders if she really can. This is prior to Claudia making her next move(!). The shift in expression is there, but it did not come from the game.

And then, when the game goes on, and he is worried now, and she says: "And want to tell you something else Louis."

He looks up, again, after that comment:

That's attention. To her. Not the game.

And this is his expression when she says: "The secret is, you want to kill him, too. And you will enjoy doing it."

And Lestat is taken aback, by that.

And.... Louis... does not respond.

That must have been quite the sinking feeling, the abject rush of adrenaline. Louis does not object to her wanting to kill him(!)

And this is Lestat's comment, after that: "You've won." And he does not only mean the chess game.

And Claudia's response is: "I'm tired."

Now, I don't know about you, but what kind of response is that to the previous statement? Except of course she knew that they were doing a layered game here, that it was all about more than the game itself.

Her saying "I'm tired." signals she is "done" with their game. With their life. With the shit game they've been playing the last few years.

His "Well, finish the game." after is as much prompt to do so literally, as it is a prompt for her to try.

Now. Here.

Because he knows she is planning to kill him now. And that she has pulled Louis in on it, at least enough.

His literal best chances are for her to try, now.

Him flipping his shit after is as much canon temper outburst as it is serious worry, which we know will then slip into paranoia after(!). He's also furious she would dare to rise up against him. He's furious that Louis just acquiesces. He is furious that he is in this position. He is furious she won. He is seriously worried she's won.

And we know that Claudia will stop talking to Louis like that, after, too. That she knows he can hear them if they do that. Which is why she stops doing it (for the most part, with a few very noticeable and planned exceptions, imho).

This is Lestat's face after he throws off the chess board and looks over to Louis, who ignores him (and his outburst).

That's worry.

Not anger. Worry.

He knows. And he goes full blown paranoid after that. And tries to beat her at the game.

And loses.

There's something extremely funny (and by that I mean sad) in the fact that, not only entertainment american productions are entirely directed by the old white men executives at the top of the companies and not the diverse, multicultural ensemble of people who worked hard on them, but that the execs actually are inconsistent about it.

This year is filled with perfect examples: you have Strange World this november, an animated movie with POC and lgbtq+ rep, happening in a freshly odd universe, and the execs went 'oh no a liberal movie let's do our best to sink it so people never talk about it and give the studios 0 marketing budget so that it looks like there's no audience for this movie, and we'll have a good reason to never make one ever again'.

And then on the other hand you have the tv series Severance that released in february which is a psychological thriller with mystery and a white main character so the execs went 'ooooh a large audience to market on' so they boosted it up. But what they didn't realize and frankly it's hilarious, is that Severance, in the same vibe than The Boys on Amazon Prime Video, is a show that mocks the system of its own production company. Severance mocks formatted dull work places and formatting and is produced by Apple. The Boys mocks rotten corporate means and is produced by Amazon.

So that MEANS that executives, who work in those shitty companies, and you would expect them to have at least a few brain cells since they are multi billion international companies, don't even check what a media is about if it looks from afar that they can market on it and make a lot of profit, but will stop right in its tracks a media that remotely looks like it's out of the mold.

TL;DR: Executives from the world's biggest entertainment companies not only have trash opinion, but they don't even do they job correctly on stuff they approve.

On 14th March 1952 we saw the first TV programme to be broadcast in Scotland

The broadcast showed the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society performing the Duke of Edinburgh Reel.

The BBC’s new television studios, grandly called Broadcasting House, were located at 5 Queen Street. The invitation had specified “Dress -- Highland or Dinner Jacket”.

Guests included Scotland’s aristocratic and cultural elite (Highland attire), plus a handful of London-based BBC executives (Dinner Jackets) who had ventured to their new outpost in what they saw as the frozen North.

In the main studio, the VIP audience was in the focus of live television cameras and the atmosphere was tense. The pictures on the monitor screens were small and horizontally lined, and , of course, in black and white.

In his speech opening the transmitter, the Secretary of State for Scotland, James Stuart, found the time to put in a good word for John Logie Baird. This was followed by a Prayer of Dedication by the Very Rev Charles L. Warr, Dean of the Thistle and Chapel Royal.

After a Vote of Thanks by James Miller, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the stage was taken over by the first live television entertainment from Scotland: a performance by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, with Tim Wright and his band.

By 8 p.m. the studio was off the air and the tension relaxed. A buffet was opened and glasses of wine appeared while the guests watched the rest of the evening’s programme from London, starting with Television Newsreel.

The show was seen by a large audience in England but the Scottish viewing numbers were small, with only 2730 licence holders on record as of March 14 1952, this in a time where only the very few dared not to have a Licence! In Helensburgh, John Logie Baird’s birthplace, there were just ten licence holders.

Five years later it was the turn of STV.

"This is Scotland" was an hour of entertainment, anchored by James Robertson Justice, to mark the opening of STV on August 31st 1957.

STV dispensed with dignitaries and there was no prayer of dedication, but instead a big variety show featuring singers and dancers and other celebrities including Alastair Sim, Ludovic Kennedy and Stanley Baxter.

The STV programme has considerable Helensburgh interest, including Jimmy Logan in his prime, and a film clip from the south of France in which Deborah Kerr was interviewed with David Niven. John Logie Baird was not forgotten; James Robertson Justice paid him an elaborate tribute and showed a replica of the early 'Televisor' set.

Jack Buchanan in the inevitable top hat and tails; rather incongruously he led the audience in a chorus of " belong to Glasgow. It must have been one of Buchanan’s last public appearances, he was to die of cancer just two months after the STV opening.
