    BRITAIN AT WAR - OUR FINEST HOURS DISC ONE - D-DAY - ASSAULT ON FORTRESS EUROPE Early in the morning of 6th June 1944, a vast and bizarre armada ploughed steadily against stiff head-winds through the rough waters of the English Channel, heading for the Normandy coast. Amongst the 5,000 vessels were many of the best British and American warships of stupendous collective firepower, as well as ancient battleships and tankers on their last voyage, destined to be sunk to provide breakwaters. Thousands of the craft had been built to make one short journey only; to ferry the invading allied forces, together with their immense diversity of equipment on the last difficult, dangerous stretch from the transports to the shore of enemy-occupied France. It was D-Day. DISC TWO - BATTLE OF BRITAIN - THE FIGHT FOR THE SKY With the surrender of France on 22nd of June 1940, Britain and her Commonwealth stood alone against the might of the German armed forces. In that dark summer of 1940, the threat of invasion hung heavily over Britain and children were once more evacuated to the countryside. The army was still recovering from its defeats in France and could offer no real defence against invasion. Britain had a strategy to meet the German threat, which was due to one man, Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding. Against enormous internal pressure, Dowding had resisted committing the majority of his Spitfire and Hurricane squadrons to the battle on the Continent, knowing that the major battle was yet to come - the battle for Britain itself.

  • Performance, Power & Production
    PERFORMANCE, POWER & PRODUCTION A SELECTIVE, CRITICAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE RADIO INTERVIEW Kathryn McDonald Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2014 COPYRIGHT STATEMENT 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 due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. II ABSTRACT Title: Performance, Power & Production. A selective, critical and cultural history of the radio interview Author: Kathryn McDonald This thesis charts the historical evolution of the ‘personal’ radio interview, in order to understand its use as a speech device, a social relationship and a communicative genre. Four contrasting styles of interviewing have been chosen to illustrate key moments and to illuminate significant shifts in the history of UK broadcasting: Desert Island Discs (1942-1954), The Radio Ballads (1958-64 & 2006), the confessional style phone interview format on independent local radio (1975) and Prison Radio projects (1993-present). These cases draw together an assortment of live and pre-recorded material, across a variety of genres that encompass over seventy years of production output, granting an opportunity to demonstrate the specificities of each example, whilst also identifying any overarching themes or differences. Primary research has been carried out using an assortment of audio content and written archive, comprising of scripts, memos, letters, diaries, training documents, contracts, policies and guidelines, which give us a further sense of how this method of talk has developed over the decades.

  • Newsletter of the History of Geology Group of the Geological Society of London
    HOGG Newsletter of the History of Geology Group of the Geological Society of London Number 45 June 2012 Front cover See Ireland First on Shell, Giant’s Causeway, Ulster Colour lithograph by Anthony Raine Barker 1925 This is one of a series of posters begun by Shell in 1925 featuring the slogan “See Britain First – on Shell” and “See Ireland First – on Shell”. Later they issued a series featuring a number of follies from around Britain and the slogan “To Visit Britain’s Landmarks You Can Be Sure of Shell”. The example below is entitled “ Kimmeridge Folly, Dorset ” The colour lithograph by Paul Nash was issued in 1937 (original in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London); the ‘folly’ is Clavell’s Tower (on cliffs of Kimmeridge Clay) at Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset. Posters were characteristic of Shell’s advertising during the 1920s and 1930s. Artists not instinctively associated with commercial art were commissioned to convey simple messages promoting Shell; these artists went on to become famous names in British contemporary art. The Shell Advertising Art Collection is housed at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Hampshire.
