		A BBC report states, “In 1940, John Snagge, as head of presentation, removed the anonymity (of the newsreaders/announcers) and the new formula was: 'Here is the news and this is Alvar Lidell (Stuart Hibberd etc.) reading it.’” After Churchill, Hibberd's became the best-known voice in wartime Britain.
		Although Lidell was called up in 1943 to serve in the RAF he was later invalided out and in 1944 rejoined the BBC.

		During WW II he was a programme announcer at the BBC and they asked him to become a news-reader.
		Up until then the likes of Stuart Hibberd and Alvar Lidell with their perfect diction and pronunciation had read the news but it was thought that the Germans could very easily imitate their so-called Oxford accents and put out spurious items to cause panic in the country.
		Wilfred was chosen because it was, quite rightly, believed that they would have difficulty imitating his Yorkshire accent.

		The traditional Christmas Day appeal for the British Wireless for the Blind Fund was last month made by Alvar Lidell (BBC1 and Radio 4), Jack Warner (Radio 2) and Tony Blackburn (Radio 1).
		Alvar Lidell, in making the main radio appeal, reminded listeners that one in every 500 of the population was blind and that every 47 minutes someone, somewhere in Britain, went blind.
		To a blind person, he said, a radio set was a necessity: newspaper, place of entertainment, sports arena, often place of worship, but above all a friend.

	Open Writing: This Is The BBC Noos?
		News readers were required to dress formally for their unseen performance, as ludicrous as that may seem today.
		One news reader, I think his name was Alvar Lidell, (If it was someone other than he, then I apologise) was seriously censured for broadcasting in a slight state of inebriation on the night the war ended in Europe.
		One would think he might have been forgiven for that.

		By contrast with Wells's "some" I suggest that there are very large numbers of speakers in tbis category.
		Among the radio and television newsreaders I have observed especially between 1963 and 1978 they were the majority, with as many in the older age groups as the younger, including, for example, John Snagge, Alvar Lidell, John Freeman, Ludovic Kennedy, etc. One could mention many well-known public figures in this group, some of them Victorians.
		The earliest speaker I have noted is Ellen Terry, born in 1847, who was recorded in 1911.
