🎂Happy 100th Birthday BBC! 🎉 One of our favourite objects in our #BBC100 display is this child’s plate featuring a talking cat 😺 2ZY was one of the UK's first radio stations and was based in Manchester. Radios used to contain a thin metal wire called a cat’s whisker but the children on this plate have taken it literally..! Find out more about Manchester’s role in the history and future of the BBC on your next visit. #scienceandindustrymuseum #broadcast100 #2zyradio #bbc
