‘The Truth About Father Christmas’ #OnThisDay

On 24th of December 1922 the first drama on the BBC was broadcast over the wireless.

Going on the air at 5pm it starred Arthur Burrows as Father Christmas, as obviously Santa was too busy on Christmas Eve to take the part.

There are no recordings of the live broadcast.
