    File: LR003208 - Alfred Bradley (interview 14) - no date.wav Duration: 0:39:10 Date: 31/07/2017 Typist: 715 START AUDIO Interviewer: A history of north regional broadcasting, interview number 14, Alfred Bradley. Radio's very first play was broadcast from Station 2LO London on the 15th November 1922. The day after Broadcasting England first began and it was heard in the children's programme but the north region can probably boast the first adult play written for wireless. L. du Garde Peach was the author. It came from the British Broadcasting Company's Metrovix studio and was broadcast by Station 2ZY. By the start of the 1930s far more Northerners were hearing plays than seeing them in the theatre. They were produced by the likes of Jan Bussell, Cecil McGiven and by Edward Wilkinson. The radio dramatic feature became the invention and hallmark of Geoffrey Brideson and Frances Dillon, Olive Shapley and Joan Littlewood all working from North region. By the 1940s James R Gregson had started a school for Radio Playwrights at the Leeds Studios. No history of North Regional Broadcasting would be anywhere near compete without BBC Regional Drama's most distinguished name, that of Alfred Bradley who's with me now. 0:01:19 Alfred you joined in 1959? Alfred Bradley: Yes, I came from a strange job. I was drama advisor in Leicestershire. I suppose I started off wanting to be an actor and I grew out of that very quickly. Found I was better at directing than acting. I couldn't be bothered to remember the lines.

  • 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.

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.

  • Appendix 1: Simon Stephens – Interview
    Appendix 1: Simon Stephens – Interview This interview took place as a public event for a predominantly student audience at the University of Kent on 6 March 2012. It was originally organized by Peter Boenisch and sponsored by the European Theatre Research Network (ETRN). Prior to the inter- view, I screened the trailers of the 2007 German production and the 2008 British production of Stephens’s play Pornography. RADOSAVLJEVIC´: In your lecture ‘Skydiving Blindfolded’, delivered at the Berlin fes- tival last year, you summarize your points on what you’ve learnt from working with a German director. What interested me was: (1) the observation that the English process of rehearsal tends to involve ‘standing the original conception as described by the writer on its feet’, whereas a German director would re-imagine the play, and (2) another more contextual observation that in the German-speaking world, ‘one of the highest manifestations of excellence is to be invited to a festival’ whereas in Britain it is ‘the possibility of a commercial transfer’. This forms a very insightful encapsulation of differences between those contexts. How did you come to playwriting in the first instance, and how did that experience of working in Germany change your process as a playwright? STEPHENS: The play Pornography was a play I wrote in 2005 about the bomb- ing of London on the London Underground system. The world premiere was directed by Sebastian Nübling – a German direc- tor, from the South of Germany. He’s directed five of my plays now and he’s a dear friend and an important colleague and col- laborator.
