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
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. Distinguishing broadcasting from other kinds of mass media, and evaluating the way in which audiences have experienced the medium, Andrew Crisell considers the nature and evolution of broadcasting, the growth of broadcasting institutions and the relation of broadcasting to a wider political and social context. 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. He is the author of Understanding Radio, also published by Routledge. -

It seems that Shrek took a dislike to being sheared and hid among the rocky caves for six years. When the farmer finally spotted the animal he didn’t recognise him as a sheep at all. 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. Occasionally, when I have been out hill walking I have got lost. It can be frightening, disorientating when we lose our bearings. Everything is unfamiliar and maybe even threatening. -

Built to Resist an Assessment of the Special Operations Executive’S Infrastructure in the United Kingdom During the Second World War, 1940-1946
Built to Resist An Assessment of the Special Operations Executive’s Infrastructure in the United Kingdom during the Second World War, 1940-1946 Derwin Gregory MA (cantab) MA PCIfA VOLUME I A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis has not been and will not be submitted in whole or in part to any other University for the award of any other degree. Derwin Gregory i Abstract During the Second World War, the British Government established the Special Operations Executive (SOE) for the purpose of coordinating ‘all action, by way of subversion and sabotage, against the enemy overseas’. Although the overseas operations of this branch of the British Secret Services are relatively well known, no previous study has assessed the organisation’s UK based infrastructure. This thesis represents the first time the entire UK property portfolio of a clandestine government agency has been assessed. By addressing this gap in our knowledge, this thesis has increased the number of identified properties operated by SOE by 30%. This was achieved by undertaking a desk based assessment which combined pre-existing historical and archaeological methodologies. -
