From the outset of his life's work on television, Baird had been interested in cinema television. Indeed, when he commenced his activities in Hastings, the Hastings and St. Leonards Observer reported in January 1924, 'A Scotsman has come... to Hastings [who] is now engaged upon perfecting an invention which at some not very distant date may enable people to sit in a cinema and see on the screen the finish of the Derby at the same moment as the horses are passing the post, or may be the Carpentier-Demsey fight...'. A few years later, in June 1931, Baird had televised, albeit crudely, the Derby from Epsom, and in June 1932 he had shown images of the Derby on a large-screen in the Metropole Cinema.
