Radio and Television

 Series
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Scott F.1-F.314

Scope and Contents

Radio and Television is organised in three sub-sections: BBC, Anglia Television and Other Broadcasting Work, the latter being slight. The BBC material covers the period 1939-1989 and consists of draft scripts and outlines for programmes, correspondence, and papers relating to contracts and payments. Among the scripts are some from the radio series, Nature Parliament and Birds in Britain, the television series Look and miscellaneous broadcasts, including Scott's commentary for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth in 1947. The Anglia material is much smaller, principally being correspondence and Survival Anglia Ltd Board of Directors papers. Section G, Lectures, speeches and addresses, comprises drafts of speeches given at a variety of conferences and gatherings, 1948-1989, and related correspondence. Included are lectures and speeches given at conferences on environmental issues, World Wildlife Fund and Wildfowl Trust functions and academic institutions. Some of these highlight Scott's prominent role in the communication of conservation issues to a wider audience.
