Dear Tim
I should try Dr. Leo Enticknap here at ICS, Leeds. He has done some considerable research on Rotha. You might also try John Corner, Emeritus Prof here also.
Best wishes

Subject: [BBC-HISTORY] BBC Documentary production, late 40s to late 60s.
Dear all,
I’m asking a literature question.
I’m writing a piece on the career and influence on TV documentary of people who started in documentary film: Rotha, Duncan Ross, Michael Orrom, Ramsay Short.
I’m just wondering what has been written on TV documentary since Elaine Bell’s useful piece, 'The Origins of British Television Documentary: The BBC 1946-55', in J Corner (ed.), Documentary and the Mass Media (London: Edward Arnold, 1986), 65-80.
If you know anything else good, I’d be delighted to have the reference.
