BBC电视台的地平线系列,50岁的2014年5月2日,尽管它的意义,科学的公共文化的历史,一直很少研究。这个微观历史帐户遵循的酝酿和早期的计划,展示了它如何建立一个科学的社会和文化帐户。这是电视因素的结果,特别是决心遵循成功的艺术电视节目监视器的格式。它阐明了电视制作的过程,与少数关键参与者-奥布里辛格,杰拉尔德利奇,菲利普戴利,戈登拉特雷泰勒,拉姆齐肖特,迈克尔皮科克和罗伯特里德-建立了节目的格式。这发生在17个月的前期准备之后,接下来的三年是寻求建立一个稳定的形式。这一目标最终在1967年实现,当时该节目在长期尝试将其制作为基于演播室的杂志节目后,采用了电影纪录片的方式。这个故事对于理解在20世纪60年代关键十年中流传的科学社会账户具有启示意义。
BBC Television's Horizon series, fifty years old on 2 May 2014, despite its significance to the history of the public culture of science, has been little studied. This microhistorical account follows the gestation and early years of the programme, demonstrating how it established a social and cultural account of science. This was a result of televisual factors, notably the determination to follow the format of the successful arts television programme Monitor. It illuminates how the processes of television production, with a handful of key participants – Aubrey Singer, Gerald Leach, Philip Daly, Gordon Rattray Taylor, Ramsay Short, Michael Peacock and Robert Reid – established the format of the programme. This occurred over seventeen months of prior preparation followed by three troubled years of seeking to establish a stable form. This was finally achieved in 1967 when the programme adopted a film documentary approach after extended attempts at making it as a studio-based magazine programme. The story has implications for understanding the social accounts of science that were circulating in the key decade of the 1960s.
