I did not hear the broadcast to which the complaints refer, but I gathered that Dr Joad took it upon himself to say that if he had been God he would hare made a better job of the creation of man. (BBC MEMO) Few programmes in the history of broadcasting have been as successful as The Brains Trust. Its resident team of pundits - Julian Huxley, Cyril Joad and Cdr A. B. Campbell - became national celebrities as, week after week, they answered such questions as ' What is happiness? ', ' How does a fly land on the ceiling? ', ' Can human nature be improved? ' This is the remarkable story of what happened behind the scenes during the years of the programme's heyday, based on material in the BBC's Sound and Written Archives.
