  • London Calling: Ssc External Services, Whitehall and The
    LONDON CALLING: SSC EXTERNAL SERVICES, WHITEHALL AND THE COLD WAR, 1944-57 ALBAN WEBB Queen Mary College, University of London A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) 1 Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: '~"\ ~~Ue6b Alban Webb Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order. Broadcasting was seen at the time as an essential adjunct to Britain's non-shooting war with the Soviet Union and a primary means of engaging with attitudes and opinion behind the Iron Curtain. Funded by government Grant-in-Aid, but with its editorial independence enshrined in the BBC's Charter, Licence and Agreement, this thesis examines, in the context of the cold war, where the balance of power lay in relations between Whitehall and the External Services.

The works on the façade by Liam Gillick were completed, allowing the public to see the effects as they walked past. Work continues apace both inside and out on the other projects by the ten artists. We on the Advisory Committee have been actively involved in the approval and monitoring of these art installations – the first time the Government Art Collection (GAC) has been involved in a building this way. The Advisory Committee, which includes the Directors of Tate, the National Gallery, and the National Portrait Gallery among its distinguished members, has no direct line or management responsibility for the GAC. However, as Chairman, I can attest to the enthusiasm and active spirit of involvement in which the Committee meetings are held. Beyond that, the members’ expertise and connections with the art world mean that the Director is able at any one time to consult individual members for their views.
