December 1997 - On the web - bbc.co.uk is launched

The 麻豆官网首页入口 had had a presence on the internet from 1994, but Lord Birt, then the Director-General of the 麻豆官网首页入口, was quick to recognise its real potential for public service broadcasting. He sought the advice of young people working in the Corporation about which way the 麻豆官网首页入口 should turn in the fledgling online world. Following a trip to Silicon Valley in the United States, he drew up the blueprint for 麻豆官网首页入口 Online. Lord Birt talks about the early days of 麻豆官网首页入口 Online to Ron Neil, former Chief Executive of 麻豆官网首页入口 Production in an archive interview from 2003.
