Hi Anthony et al - I was interested in these messages, as I actually used to
work as the indexer (freelance) at The Listener from around 1976 to 1980 -
it was all on card files. It was while I was doing this that I realised that
children's television got virtually no entries whereas children's books got
dozens; this seemed to me odd in a broadcasting magazine. I started writing
articles about children's television for The Listener (the first was called
'Feudalism for the Under Fives' about preschool TV) and got so interested in
it that I ended up doing the PhD, and here I am. But the technology of those
days was so incredibly primitive compared to now - I guess there must be
many things that weren't included in the index.
