Title: Suez memories wanted
Post by Forum Admin on Nov 11^th, 2005, 5:33pm

This message is from Jo Glanville, a producer with BBC Current Affairs:

Were you working at the BBC during the Suez crisis?

BBC2 is making a three-part series to mark the fiftieth anniversary next year. One of the aspects we'd like to cover is the pressure which the government put on the BBC at the time (and particularly the External Services) to support the war.

We're also interested in people who may have had dealings with the Foreign Office's Information Research Department which was a propaganda unit.

If you had any direct experience of these things then do please get in touch with Jo Glanville - either by email or by phone - jo.glanville@bbc.co.uk 020 8752 4322*
