The Third Programme, which ran under that name for the twenty years after the Second World War, represented a crucial episode in the history of the BBC. Its development is a story which includes the excitement of communicating high culture broadly, the influence of elitism, and the varied forces which worked against it. This documentary opens up many of the central questions, and gives plenty of food for thought, although, inevitably for a short documentary, there is some simplification involved.
It is 39 minutes long and I highly recommend it.

If, after a little research, you can understand both these humorous drawings, you will be doing very well...
