A century of existence is something to fete. To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the BBC has created an interactive site dedicated to the most iconic objects, faces and contributors associated with the British broadcaster over the last century.
Internet users can dive into the history of the BBC through three tabs, respectively called "Objects of the BBC," "Faces of the BBC" and "Voices of the BBC." In the first one, users can discover collectibles such as the white coat worn by Colin Firth in the iconic adaptation of Pride And Prejudice. Also among them one finds the application letter sent by naturalist David Attenborough to join the BBC in January 1952 and the one that radio host Roy Plomley sent to former BBC producer Leslie Perowne to pitch the idea of the "Desert Island Discs" programme.
