There have been some papers concerned with the Natural History unit, based in the West Region. You might get some leads from those. Here are two. I'm sure there have been more
Davies, G. (2000) ‘Science, observation and entertainment: competing visions of postwar British natural history television, 1946–1967’, Ecumene, vol. 7, no.4, pp.432–60.
Cottle, S. (2004) ‘Producing nature(s): on the changing production ecology of natural history TV, Media, Culture and Society, vol. 26, pp. 81–101.

Dear BBC History list,
I wonder if anyone can point me towards any published sources on the history of the BBC West Region?
I'd also like to know if possible what area of England it covered with its transmissions - I'm focusing in particular on the post-war period.
Many thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Ieuan.
