Subject: interpreting transcript marks
Dear All,
I am looking for advice on how to interpret censorship and editing marks on
BBC radio scripts. I am looking at scripts from 1940 through the 1960s on
the Overseas Service. It looks like some of the scripts are marked for
policy/censorship as well as for time/general editing. It would be helpful
to be able to make an educated guess about what material was cut for time
or aesthetics and what was cut for policy reasons. I have been told that it
is also a possibility that any scripts with censored material were
destroyed and not filed.
Does anyone have information about interpreting these marks or know of any
secondary sources that discuss these issues, especially for WWII era BBC
radio broadcasts?
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Julie

Julie,
Your best bet is to contact the BBC Written Archive Centre, and connect with an archivist. They can help you considerably.
