	Tonight
		The programme was produced under the aegis of the BBC's Talks Department by Alasdair Milne and edited by Donald Baverstock, who later went on to occupy a senior position within the BBC.
		In Baverstock's words, Tonight would "celebrate communication with the audience", and indeed the programme came across not as the institutional voice of the BBC but as the voice of the people.
		Baverstock left Tonight in 1961 to become Assistant Controller of Programmes and his place was taken by Alasdair Milne.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Donald Baverstock
		Donald Baverstock (January 18, 1924 – March 17, 1995) was a British television producer and executive.
		Baverstock worked on Tonight until 1961, when he was promoted to be the BBC’s Assistant Controller of Programmes across the whole television service.
		However, Baverstock felt insulted that he was being asked to take what he saw as a demotion to the lesser channel, and refused to take up his new post, instead resigning from the BBC altogether.

	Money \| My mentor
		Donald was immensely inventive and creative and was lucky at Tonight to have a very skilful team around him: Tony Jay and Gordon Watkins, plus reporters Derek Hart, Alan Whicker and Fyfe Robertson.
		This was important as Donald would come up with a 100 ideas a day, of which perhaps one would be useful.
		The tragedy was that when Donald became the controller of programming everyone thought he was the new Messiah.

	THE FLAXTON BOYS \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		His boss at YTV was the legendary Donald Baverstock.
		In 1963 Baverstock also introduced the famous globe logo that would identify the channel for the next 39 years.
		Donald liked ‘The Boys of Nightingale Hall’ but he wanted something with what he called ‘consonantal bounce’, so the title was changed to ‘The Flaxton Boys’.

	A Brief History Of Time (Travel): The Rescue
		When, on August 14th, Chief of Programmes Donald Baverstock finally granted Lambert thirteen more weeks of Doctor Who, Lambert quickly set about finalising plans to write out Carole Ann Ford's Susan in the concluding episode of The Dalek Invasion Of Earth, the last story of the first production block.
		Baverstock was also unhappy at the proposition of a change in the main cast, and suggested that Doctor Who might instead be replaced altogether by a new science-fiction series following the transmission of The Dalek Invasion Of Earth.
		By this time, Whitaker had decided to leave his post as Doctor Who's story editor as of October 31st; he would be replaced by Dennis Spooner, who had already scribed The Reign Of Terror and who was now working on the second story of the new recording block, The Romans.

		On this occasion, it was Donald Wilson rather then Sydney Newman who provided the hand-written annotations to Webber's latest effort.
		His next step was to forward a copy of it to Donald Baverstock, along with the following cautiously optimistic memo: "This formalises on paper our intentions with respect to the new Saturday afternoon serial which is to hit air on 24 August.
		Later, Baverstock was to confide to Newman that he also thought that the emerging series was, indeed, "looking great".

	OFF THE TELLY: Features/BBC2 at 40"I Don't Want That Appearing in Private Eye"
		Baverstock moaned to the press, but was shut up by being given the job of BBC1 Controller instead.
		Bored of BBC red tape he'd gone freelance in the early 1960s, and was set on a career alternating programme-making with postgraduate research before Huw Wheldon made an urgent phone call in February 1965 asking him to pop round.
		"Donald won't have it," he explained to Attenborough within his front room in Kew, "and is going to resign.

		Donald Rumsfeld was one of the primary architects of the Iraq war.
		But a scientist who had worked for the WHO at that time later stated that another study that was kept concealed from the public contradicted WHO’s claim, and that it asserts that depleted uranium can cause cancer.

		Three of the Tonight team had key roles in making the programme a reality: Donald Baverstock, Alasdair Milne, and Tonight's light entertainment producer, Ned Sherrin.
		There was more blood on the carpet at Broadcasting House in the autumn of 1965 - when The World At One took to the airwaves on 4 October.
		BBC news boss Donald Edwards was keen to get rid of what he called the "long, stilted" bulletins at key points in the radio schedule.

	History of Doctor Who at AllExperts
		In March 1962, Eric Maschwitz, the Head of Light Entertainment at BBC Television, asked Donald Wilson, the Head of the Script Department, to have his department's Survey Group prepare a study on the feasibility of producing a new science-fiction series on the BBC.
		The report was prepared by staff members Alice Frick and Donald Bull, and delivered the following month, much to the commendation of Wilson, Maschwitz and the BBC's Assistant Controller of Programmes Donald Baverstock.
		In March 1963, he was made aware by Baverstock — now promoted to Controller of Programmes — of a gap in the schedule on Saturday evenings between the sports showcase Grandstand and the pop music programme Juke Box Jury.

		Once the only children's author anyone could name, by the time of her death in 1968, she had written 700 books, sold 200 million copies worldwide and had left a legacy which looked untouchable.
		For her daughter, Gillian Baverstock, who lives in Ilkley, watching her mother's reputation being gradually chipped away was inevitably uncomfortable.
		While she had never wanted to be her mother's spokeswoman, there were times when she was forced to address the critics.

		James MacTaggart [producer in charge of the first full season of plays], Roger Smith [story editor] and I were told to prepare about thirty plays for the new series and weÕd spent 1964 preparing.
		We were due to begin transmission in Autumn 1964 but Donald Baverstock blocked it.
		Baverstock hadnÕt wanted the single play because he didnÕt believe that the anthology series could get the ratings.

	Emmerdale Farm Creator Kevin Laffan
		At about the same time came a phone call offering Laffan the chance to script a new, lunchtime serial, when ITV was looking for daytime programming in the wake of the Government's decision to relax restrictions on broadcasting hours, but the writer was not keen.
		Donald Baverstock, Yorkshire Television's director of programmes, phoned me and asked if I would like to write a farming serial.
		My first reaction was, "No, I wouldn't." I was a playwright at heart and my agent told me it would ruin my reputation.

		Miall's days in front of the microphone ended when he was called home to take charge of what was quaintly known as the Television Talks Department.
		He found himself in charge of a formidable stable of talent, including Alasdair Milne, Donald Baverstock, Huw Wheldon, Cliff Michelmore, Geoffrey Johnson Smith, and Paul Fox.
		He inherited an approach to political programming which was shackled by "the 14-day rule" (which meant that no reference was made to topical issues within a fortnight of their being debated in Parliament) and also a cringing deference to politicians.

	BBC - Religion & Ethics - Songs of Praise
		From the beginning of nationwide TV broadcasting after World War Two, 'religion' was thought to be too serious a matter for the visual medium.
		But one Sunday lunchtime in 1961, Donald Baverstock, a famous producer on the news magazine Tonight, watched by chance a test transmission of an outside broadcast of hymn-singing in Welsh from a Welsh chapel.
		He found it such a compelling experience, wide shots of a beautiful chapel and close ups of people's faces singing with deep faith, that he suggested to Stuart Hood, then Director of BBC TV programmes, that a programme in English might be just as popular.

		It may well have been, though, that the very clever producers saw in people qualities and characters that we didn't know about ourselves.
		Donald Baverstock, the producer, a little Welsh terrier, was absolutely brilliant; helped by Alastair Milne, his Number Two, who went on to become Director general [of the BBC] years afterwards, and Anthony Jay an absolutely brilliant scriptwriter, as he afterwards proved by writing the 'Yes, Minister' series.
		So we were fortunate, or they were clever in picking people who worked, like Fyfe Robertson, a marvellous Scot, who went round belabouring councillors all round the country, finding out what was wrong with them.

	Debunked
		The misconception comes from BBC Chief of Programmes Donald Baverstock's insistance that the initial production run be broken down into segments of 13 episodes each, so the show could be continually re-assessed.
		A further report prepared by Frick and colleague John Braybon was delivered in July 1962, and laid down several of the ground rules later adopted for Doctor Who, for example, no "bug-eyed monsters" and no robots that were obviously men in costumes.
		Inside the Spaceship was written as a filler but only after Chief of Programmes Donald Baverstock had insisted on a first production block of 13 episodes (An Unearthly Child, 100,000 B.C. and The Mutants totalled 11).

		Tonight went on the air from 6:05 to 6:45 every weekday evening, with the jazz programme Six Five Special filling the space on Saturdays and quickly established itself a regular audience.
		Fyfe Robertson (left), Alan Whicker (right), MacDonald Hastings, Trevor Philpott and John Morgan provided outside reports; film cameraman Slim Hewitt contributed dead-pan cockney pieces written by Tony Jay, and the film editor was Tony Essex.

	A Brief History Of Time (Travel): Inside The Spaceship
		In late October 1963, BBC Chief of Programmes Donald Baverstock had effectively indicated that he would not allow the show to proceed beyond its initial four-part serial, due to perceived cost overruns.
		Head of Drama Sydney Newman and Head of Serials Donald Wilson -- two of the chief architects of Doctor Who -- intervened and managed to assuage Baverstock's concerns.
		The result was that Baverstock agreed to authorise the production of the first thirteen Doctor Who episodes.
