Hi everyone,
I've found documents to suggest that the Institute of Race Relations planned a film in conjuction with Richard Cawston and, of course, the BBC. They planned to hire John Elliott as writer/producer, and get help from the BBC doc department.
Was the project ever transmitted?
I know that during the 1980s, Race & Class was funded by C4 to make 'Struggles for Black Community,' but the aforementioned doc would have broadcast in 1967 or early '68......

I can help with one name, Peter Thompson, who was head of outside broadcasts for many years through the 50s and 60s at BBC Scotland - although in 1951 he might have held a slightly lower position.
Hope this helps.

Everyone,
It's me again, attempting to indentify a few names within my notes.
Please see the attached memo. While I surely know who Goldie, Noordhof, Kennish and Swallow are, I'm unclear on the others, and their significance.
Can anyone help, please?
Oh, how I wish the BBC would digitize its staff listings....
