Presented by Victoria Gill, the programme examines the science and technology behind what we’ll watch and listen to, what the seismic technological shifts mean for all of us and also includes a groundbreaking audience experiment with new audio technology. BBC News Science Correspondent Victoria said: “We’re really getting the audience involved, they’ll be trialling some new generation audio technology as part of the programme.
“The wonderful National Museum of Science and Media here in Bradford also has a special celebratory gallery looking at 100 years of broadcasting and taking a dip into what it might look like in the future, so it couldn’t be a better backdrop for celebrating the BBC centenary - the first UNESCO city of film."
