  • A Short History of the BBC
    A short history of the BBC A Birth of the BBC At 6 p.m. on 14 November 1922, Arthur Burrows read a news bulletin. It included a report of a train robbery and an important political meeting, some sports results, and a weather forecast. This was the first ever broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC. It had a staff of just four, and its mission was to ‘educate, inform and entertain’. B Entertainment for the ears By 1930, half the homes in Britain had a radio. They could listen not only to the news, but also to dramas, classical music concerts, chat shows, children’s programmes and live sports coverage. When the Second World War started in 1939, BBC radio was a very important source of news, and of entertainment to cheer people up in difficult times. C Going global The BBC World Service began in 1932, mostly for the British people who lived in Africa and Asia. During the Second World War, it broadcast in many different languages and had large numbers of European listeners. Today it broadcasts by radio, internet and satellite in twenty-seven languages. 188 million people listen every week. D From radio to TV Television broadcasting had begun in 1936, but stopped during the Second World War. When it returned in 1946, viewers could enjoy anything from Disney’s Mickey Mouse cartoons to coverage of the Olympic Games. In 1953, 20 million people crowded round the country’s 3 million TV screens to watch Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. After that, the popularity of TV grew fast.

    1 Downloaded from www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 THE ATTACHED TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. THE BBC REITH LECTURES – SILENCE GRIPS THE TOWN TX: 27.06.2017 09:00-09:45 PRESENTER: SUE LAWLEY PRODUCER: JIM FRANK LECTURE 3 - ANTWERP SUE LAWLEY: Hello and welcome to the third of this year's Reith Lectures with the author Hilary Mantel. Today, we're in the Flemish port of Antwerp in Belgium, at the Vleeshuis, the flesh house, the Butcher's Guild Hall. Today it's home to a museum dedicated to music, but when it was built at the beginning of the 16th century and full of prosperous beef butchers, it was the highest secular building in Antwerp and helped put the city on the map as an economic powerhouse of Tudor times. No surprise then, that Hilary Mantel, best known for her novels of Henry VIII's Court, was keen to deliver one of her Reith Lectures here in Antwerp where she spend time researching Thomas Cromwell, who would have visited this very building. Hilary's been warning of the dangers of ignoring the complexity of history. She's talked about the role of history in our lives and she's explained how the art of fiction can shed light on its interpretation. Today, she tells a story of how obsession with the past can lead to tragedy.

HOUH* INTRODUCTION I was invited to deliver the September 2017 Dean's Lecture, on which this essay is based, in March of 2017, shortly after the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 4 5 th president of the United States. I had originally planned to present on one of my longstanding research areas, the intersections of contract law and critical race theory, but as the spring wore on, I began to feel an urgency about using my expertise to comment more directly on the increasingly overt but trenchant race, gender, sex, and class inequalities and conflicts that have plagued our nation for centuries.
