I wonder if anyone has any views on Andrew Stewart, the BBC lifer who was eventually Controller, Home Service 1953-7.
David Hendy is rather dismissive of him as an old school broadcasting reactionary but in Ieuan Franklin's unpublished PhD I read that he was an innovative Controller, Northern Ireland who encouraged radical producers like Sam Hanna Bell.
Can anyone enlighten me on the man who seems to have had a character change?
Best, Hugh
