This book provides a narrative history of the BBC Radio Variety
Department exploring, along chronological lines, the workings of,
tensions within and the impact of BBC policies on the
programme-making department which generated the organisation's
largest audiences. It provides an insight into key events,
personalities, programmes, internal politics and trends in popular
entertainment, censorship and anti-American policy as they
individually or collectively affected the Department. Martin Dibbs
examines how the Department's programmes became markers in the
daily and weekly lives of millions of listeners, and helped shape
the nation's listening habits when radio was the dominant source of
domestic entertainment. The book explores events and topics which,
while not directly forming part of the Variety Department's
history, nevertheless intersected with or had an impact on it. Such
topics include the BBC's attitude to jazz and rock and roll, the
arrival of television with its impact on radio, the pirate radio
stations, and the Popular Music and Gramophone Departments, both of
whom worked closely with the Variety Department.
