I-The story of the manuscripts
The Rev. H. F. D. Sparks , Durham
University
To prepare an extensive survey of the making and content of the Bible for broadcasting over a period of two years has been the task of those concerned in this new series, of which this morning's broadcast is the first. The first twelve talks will deal with the history of the present text of the Gospels. These will be followed by a second group on the teaching of the Gospels, while later on further broadcasts will examine the Epistles, the Acts of the Apostles, and parts of the Old Testament. It is hoped that all the talks will be found specially suitable for sixth-form listening.

A panorama outline of the Great War 1914-1918, as seen through the eyes of the German General
Staff
Script compiled by Igor Vinogradoff and Denis Johnston
Produced by Dallas Bower
This programme was first broadcast in the Home Service on Monday, August 4, 1941, exactly twenty-seven years after Great Britain declared war on Imperial Germany in 1914. The four years 1914-1918, in retrospect, provide strange parallels between that conflict and the present one.
The programme, of which the sources are original documents dealing with the Great War from the viewpoint of the German General Staff, shows how Germany's military successes were counterbalanced by the political blunders of the High Command.
