John Logie Baird's house featured tonight on Britain's Secret Homes programme.

Presenter Michael Buerk visits the house at 21 Linton Crescent in Hastings, where Baird carried out his early TV experiments.

The episode will be shown on ITV at 9pm tonight Friday July 5.

“I went for a walk over the cliffs to Fairlight Glen, and my mind went back to my early work on television.  Might there not be something in it now?”

He worked it out in his mind and with his friend constructed a ‘means of seeing wireless’ from a  lot of odds and ends.
