	BBC Third Programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The BBC Third Programme was the third national radio network broadcast by the BBC, has since become Radio 3, but was originally known (at least within the BBC) as C.
		The other two were the Home Service (mainly speech based) and the Light Programme, dedicated to light music, usually cover versions of popular music of the day played by the "in-house" BBC orchestras.
		Its existence was controversial from the start, partly because of perceived "elitism"-it was sometimes criticised for programmes of "two dons talking" and also for the costs of output relative to a small listener reach.

	Dropping anchor
		The BBC had transmitted "The Six Five Special" tv series in the fifties, but this had rather petered out without replacement at the end of the decade.
		BBC Radio was playing no more than seven hours a week of popular, new release music by the early sixties, and filling in the rest of the time with a diet of oldies, film music, and BBC orchestras doing cover versions of current hits.
		That is not to say that the romantic adventure of "breaking the BBC monopoly" was lost on the proprietors, indeed much was made of their crusading aspect - but mainly in the later years of their 4 year reign.

	Who's Who in Pop Radio - BBC Light Programme
		Brian has been one of the driving forces in putting out pop music over the Light Programme-in fact he was directly responsible for starting two of the longest running pop shows on radio, "Saturday Club" and "Easy Beat".
		He felt strongly that a programme built around the popular music of the day was needed and decided to send a tape of the kind of show he would like to hear to producer Johnny Kingdom at the BBC.
		Denny heard nothing for six months-during which time the Corporation were thinking about music programmes-and then out of the blue Johnny Kingdom telephoned to tell him that a new show, 'Parade of the Pops" was going on the air and he had been chosen as the man to introduce it.

		DJ Norman Jay was a leading light on Kiss FM The offshore stations also helped propel The Who, the Moody Blues and Procol Harum, among others, towards the charts - and became too popular for the government and the BBC to ignore.

		One of its leading lights was DJ Norman Jay - recently made an MBE - and in 1990 it won a legitimate licence to broadcast in London.

	Hancock's Half Hour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		After the last BBC series Hancock insisted that the next script had to have much wider appeal — in the USA — and for six months Gallon and Simpson laboured — unpaid — to write one.
		The only thing is that given their undoubted writing talents, it is surprising that they didn't come up with anything further for the BBC in the way of situation comedy scripts for the 1980's or even the 1990's audience.
		Perhaps it's a bit like pop and rock stars, where all the creative stuff comes in the early years of their careers and then later on they just tend to be going through the motions and living off their old hits — or maybe they just weren't asked...
