  • Socialist Television Drama, Newspaper Critics and the Battle of Ideas During the Crisis of Britain’S Post-War Settlement
    Socialist television drama, newspaper critics and the battle of ideas during the crisis of Britain’s post-war settlement Author: Steven Fielding Journal: Twentieth Century British History Accepted for Publication: 1 February 2019 More than ever, ideas matter to political historians: many have now taken an ‘ideational turn’.1 This is especially true of students of the 1970s, the decade when a fierce ideological battle with huge consequences for the future raged over Britain’s ailing post-war settlement. By keeping the profit motive intact and leaving untouched most bastions of estaBlished power, but expanding the role of government and giving organized laBour a Bigger voice, some believed the settlement had permanently placed Britain somewhere Between socialism and the free market.2 Sustained by what Paul Addison described as a limited ‘Whitehall consensus’, the settlement nonetheless remained the suBject of keen ideological debate.3 Economic growth and popular affluence however meant that those who wanted to firmly wrest it towards socialism or the free market were largely excluded from influence within government. But once Britain’s mounting economic proBlems were compounded By the quadrupling of the price of oil in 1973-4 and the country found itself in an inflation-fueled recession, the existential questions long asked by the far-left and radical right won new audiences beyond Whitehall.4 If measured in strictly parliamentary terms it was the right that won this battle of ideas.

  • Light Entertainment
    Light Entertainment Andrew O’Hagan writes about child abuse and the British public On 23 May 1949, Lionel Gamlin, producer of the Light Programme’s Hello Children, wrote to Enid Blyton to ask whether she would be willing to be interviewed about the best holiday she could remember. ‘Dear Mr Gamlin,’ Blyton wrote the next day. ‘Thank you for your nice letter. It all sounds very interesting but I ought to warn you of something you obviously don’t know, but which has been well known in the literary and publishing world for some time – I and my stories are completely banned by the BBC as far as children are concerned.’ From Room 432 at Broadcasting House, Gamlin later received a memo addressed to him by Derek McCulloch, the producer and presenter of Children’s Hour. McCulloch was known to every child growing up between the mid-1930s and 1950 as ‘Uncle Mac’ and was as famous to them as anyone could be. The memo was marked ‘Enid Blyton Stories’ and, in red, ‘strictly confidential and urgent’. ‘I will be grateful,’ McCulloch wrote, ‘if you would first discuss with me should you be considering the inclusion of material by the above author. I am most anxious that no conflicts in policy shall get loose, not only to our embarrassment, but to yours also.’ Gamlin was a company man and he clearly got the point. ‘In spite of the desire voiced by some of the children who wrote,’ Gamlin replied, ‘I have no intention of using any material by the above author, as I think I mentioned to you after I had first approached her without knowing your policy in the matter.

    An Introductory History of British Broadcasting ‘. a timely and provocative combination of historical narrative and social analysis. Crisell’s book provides an important historical and analytical introduc- tion to a subject which has long needed an overview of this kind.’ Sian Nicholas, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television ‘Absolutely excellent for an overview of British broadcasting history: detailed, systematic and written in an engaging style.’ Stephen Gordon, Sandwell College An Introductory History of British Broadcasting is a concise and accessible history of British radio and television. It begins with the birth of radio at the beginning of the twentieth century and discusses key moments in media history, from the first wireless broadcast in 1920 through to recent developments in digital broadcasting and the internet.

This fully updated and expanded second edition includes: ■ The latest developments in digital broadcasting and the internet ■ Broadcasting in a multimedia era and its prospects for the future ■ The concept of public service broadcasting and its changing role in an era of interactivity, multiple channels and pay per view ■ An evaluation of recent political pressures on the BBC and ITV duopoly ■ A timeline of key broadcasting events and annotated advice on further reading Andrew Crisell is Professor of Broadcasting Studies at the University of Sunderland.

Shrek’s feet were barely visible for the fleece had grown and grown. When Shrek was sheared the fleece weighed more than sixty pounds. Shrek had wandered away on the rocky slopes alone.

  • Chapter 15: Devonshire, Weymouth and New Cavendish Streets
    DRAFT CHAPTER 15 Devonshire, Weymouth and New Cavendish Streets The three main cross streets between Marylebone High Street and Great Portland Street were developed over some thirty years from the 1760s. Always subservient to their bigger north–south neighbours, these streets generally offered smaller houses and a less pronounced architectural character. Indeed, until the mid nineteenth century there were few buildings on Devonshire and Weymouth Streets immediately west of Harley Street, where the street-grid became appreciably narrower. Today, though motor traffic can be unrelenting, the area has a quiet tone with pedestrians often thin on the ground. As with much of the Howard de Walden estate within the purlieus of Harley Street, a mixed building fabric is now given over mostly to medical or institutional use. Though these streets are the main focus of this chapter, the various mews opening off them, which give the area much of its character, are also described, while the minor cross street Duchess Street is touched on in terms of its general historical development. Some properties at the west end on these streets, in the vicinity of Marylebone High Street and Beaumont Street, are included with those areas in Chapters 2 and 16; likewise others at the eastern end, around Hallam and Great Portland Streets, are treated in Chapters 21 and 22. A major excision is New Cavendish Street east of Great Portland Street. This was developed as Upper Marylebone Street and is discussed separately in Chapter 25.
