Abstract:

We report two cases showing psychiatric symptoms associated with a fear of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). There have now been over 42 cases of AIDS in the United Kingdom (Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, 1984) since the first case appeared in December 1981, a year after the syndrome was first identified in the United States of America. It was the BBC television programme “Death in the Village” which brought the risks home to many UK homosexual men in mid-1983. Following the programme, the London Gay Switchboard received a high level of telephone calls from men who were af

Abstract:

The history of the BBC's regional programming is one of perennial tension between representing and reflecting the diversity of the UK's nations and regions and what is often perceived as an unrelenting ‘metropolitan centricity’. Through charting the mixed fortunes of English-language arts television for and about Wales, this article examines how the narrow range of cultural representation available on BBC television is situated within a public service broadcasting strategy that continues to regard regional arts as inherently ‘provincial’ and as such, inferior to that of London.

Abstract:

Abstract In 1985 the British Government established a committee with the task of examining the financial problems of the BBC. This committee, chaired by Professor (now Sir) Alan T. Peacock, has produced a report (Report of the Committee on Financing the BBC, London, HMSO, 1986) which is a valuable piece of economic analysis, and one which, while centred on the main theme of the financing problems of the BBC, also offers a discussion of the working of the British broadcasting system as a whole.The present paper offers a review of the conclusions reached in the Report.

Abstract:

The experiences of women engineers working in the BBC Television Service at Alexandra Palace, London, during the 1940s and 1950s, give insights into gender discrimination in broadcasting. These women first joined as radio engineers when the BBC was recruiting women during World War II, then transferred to television between 1946 and 1947. In interviews recorded in the 1990s, they talk about incidents of bullying and exclusion by men on crews who were hostile to women doing engineering jobs. Other memories are about being demoted from positions on camera and sound to vision mixing when the BBC

Abstract:

‘Why shouldn't we be allowed to write symphonic poems?’ Tristan Murail asked the audience gathered at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios for his interview with Jonathan Cross. Murail, now 67, was visiting the UK for the first time in many years, here for the world premiere of his new orchestral work Reflections, which took place on 2 November 2013 in a robust performance by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sakari Oramo. Reflections parts one and two evoke certain aspects of early modernist music, and, most of all, the music of Debussy, a composer Murail has come to cite more and more frequent

Abstract:

Doreen Stephens, whose work and career are now largely forgotten, was very active in the production and management of British television during the 1950s and 1960s. This article will consolidate the author's earlier work on Stephens’ central role in the successful expansion of postwar women's television at the BBC. It will chronicle and explore Stephens’ involvement in other significant episodes at the BBC as well as her subsequent appointment in 1967 as London Weekend Television's Head of Children's Religious and Adult Educational Programmes.

Abstract:

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, currently enjoying renewed popularity on television via the BBC's Sherlock (2010–), have been adapted for the screen countless times around the world. Arguably the best remembered are Granada's long-running strand with Jeremy Brett (1984–94) and the Universal film series of the 1940s featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Less frequently cited, however, are the two series produced by the BBC between 1965 and 1968, in which first Douglas Wilmer and later Peter Cushing took on the mantle of the Baker Street detective.

Abstract:

This article examines the work of John Cura, a freelance photographer who took over half a million still images of British television programmes between 1947 and 1968. Called Tele-snaps, these photographs constitute an archive of British television from a period where only a limited quantity of programme material survives. Based on papers relating to Cura's work, available in the BBC's Written Archive Centre, the article details the development of Cura's relationship with the BBC as a freelancer, from his speculative attempts at securing clients in the late 1940s to his long-standing contractu
