Scope and content
The British Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting House, London, W.1. - Has received Forster's card about Elizabeth Trevelyan: her wish to read prose is difficult, as the September audition is dedicated to poetry, there have been no prose readings in the programme for a long time and no more are planned as far as he knows. Clinton-Baddeley abridged a few Dickens novels about a year ago, and Ronnie Watkins did the same for Austen, but the BBC is unsure 'how many people want to be tied to their loudspeakers to hear a long novel out in weekly instalments'. Will talk to Lionel [Fielden: Talks producer at the BBC] on his return from holiday.
