Here's a short subject offering the audience a non-technical view of the state of television broadcasting at the time. There's a look at a mobile recording set-up -- actually a big van parked outside a building. There's also some discussion of how even at this stage, live broadcasts are not entirely live: production is sped up by filming some parts of the show in advance, and while sets and costumes are changed, those portions are caught by the television cameras and broadcast.
