Gilbert Harding brings his guests to the studio, records them in their homes, or talks to them across seas and continents by telephone and short-wave telecommunications
Because the world around us changes from day to day the people to be interviewed will not be chosen until shortly before the broadcast, and therefore it is not possible to announce their names in advance.
The Light Programme welcomes your opinion about who should be a Gilbert Harding guest. If you want to make a suggestion write to: Gilbert Harding (Interviews), Broadcasting House, London, W.I. Postcards only please.
The Harding Interviews are broadcast twice a week-on Mondays at
