A series of 5 documentary programmes to mark the BBC's anniversary
Presented by Rene Cutforth
As a six-foot-six subaltern in the 1914 trenches, John Charles Walsham Reith - eventually to become the BBC's first Director-General - always thought it beneath his dignity to stoop. He was badly wounded because of this characteristic, but nevertheless it was an attitude he adopted for the rest of his life.
The first programme in the series tells the story of John Reith and the sort of broadcasting organisation he created; some of his essential philosophy is revealed in an interview he gave to Malcolm Muggeridge a few years ago.
Contents: The pioneers at Writtle and Savoy Hill - the Savoy Orpheans - A. J. Alan - Nightingales and 'The Fleet's lit up' - Jack Payne and Henry Hall - the first comedians - the General Strike - the Abdication. Royal Occasions.
Francis Turner Palgrave died 75 years ago. He published his first Golden Treasury in 1861, writing in the dedication: if this Collection proves a storehouse of delight to Labour and Poverty, if it teaches those indifferent to the Poets to love them, and those who love them to love them more, the aim and desire entertained in framing it will be fully accomplished.
John Ebdon reads some of his own favourite poems from this famous anthology and ponders on the original choice and the subsequent additions. Producer HELEN FRY
