Here is a two hour class on the BBC I gave for students at Amiens, but other people might be interested.
In the first part I look at the question "Was the BBC part of the Welfare State?" and compare the BBC with the National Health Service.
In the second part I look at two kinds of radio and TV programme - firstly those concerning music, especially popular music, and secondly documentary series. For each case I try to evaluate what the contribution of public service was - that is to say, can we be sure that the BBC was providing something which commercial television coud not provide?
