position in (usually) a very small space of time. The camera-men must be given room to get their cameras into the right positions, and the sound engineers will be unable to pick up the actors' voices if their microphones are obstructed. The lighting must be free to penetrate where required. Finally, the whole lot must be capable of removal in a few minutes to make room for something else. Then there is the question of expense. It is obviously not economical to erect costly sets for a single short transmission, and we have therefore developed a ' unit' system of scenery in which each piece can be used over and over again. This necessitates a strict adherence to certain standards of size and the adoption of general architectural forms rather than too-particular varieties. ' Properties', or the various furnish• ings and details which augment the scenery, have also to be constructed. Our producers have, apparently, limitless imaginations, and we must therefore be

The use of miniature scenery is well known, both on the stage and in the film studio, as a guide to the construction of full-size sets, and the cinematic use of models for direct scenery is common• place. We have already used models for both purposes in television, and are beginning to realise a future for them quite as important as in the older arts, if not more so. The controversy that has raged for years about theatre ' decor' has hardly touched us yet in television as we have been too busy with practical problems. We have therefore been content to follow stage and cinema fashions and to be realist, impressionist, constructivist, or any other sort of -ist as required. No doubt we shall evolve, in time, a scenic art suitable Above : A few roses and the arbour is for our peculiar requirements and, indeed, complete.
