Historical Note
The Home Service provided a broad range of news, educational, and entertainment services and was the principal channel. The Light Programme, as the name implies, offered lighter fare which was intended purely for relaxation and amusement purposes. The Third Programme was more serious in nature and catered to an esoteric audience. Its purpose, as outlined by Sir William Haley, was to present "the great classical repertoire in music and drama, and, so far as they are broadcastable, in literature and the other arts," things "culturally satisfying and significant." The BBC defined the program as "being for the educated rather than an educational programme."
The esoteric nature of the Third Programme proved to be detrimental rather than beneficial to the BBC. Although the BBC was generally praised for its noble ambition of raising cultural standards, the Third Programme's small following made the program less than cost-efficient. Saddled with rising production costs and stung by criticism of the Third Programme's elitist tendencies, the BBC decided in 1957 to curtail the program. Its decision was met with much protest, which came primarily from a small but highly organized following. Several hundred constituents organized The Third Programme Defense Society and enlisted support from a number of well-known intellectuals such as T. S. Eliot, Albert Camus, and Sir Laurence Olivier, who headed the Society's seven-man delegation.
Despite the Society's efforts, the Third Programme was truncated--its air time was reduced from 40 to 24 hours a week--but was otherwise materially unaltered. It continued to offer a combination of spoken word and music, though with fewer repeats and fewer long speeches, until 1970. At that point, aware of listener divisions the three-network system had perpetrated, BBC virtually phased out the Third Programme, allotting it only eight hours per week and merging much of the program's material with that of Radio Four, which had been developed for a more general audience.

Scope and Content Note
The scripts document the nature and diversity of the program's offerings as well as the modifications made to the program after its 1957 scheduling curtailment. The scripts also reflect how the program functioned as a "literary magazine of the air" and a sponsor of contemporary literature. The majority of the scripts are adaptations and productions of works by noted authors, playwrights, and poets such as Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, and Henry Mayhew. Original works are also included, as are interviews with contemporary literary figures, speeches, essays, radio operas, and folk and other musical scores. Several of the productions are international in flavor, with music and poems from other countries. A few of the scripts contain penciled cues and markings, presumably made by the readers, who included contemporary stage presences such as Alec Guiness.
