It's interesting to read because it's easy to think of the BBC is a staid, state organization whereas this demonstrates how it actively tries to fulfill its public service. A while ago I went to an exhibition of the work of Oliver Postgate[1] who produced a number of very well known and delightful children's programmes for the BBC in the 1950s to 1980s. There was a wonderful letter written by someone at the BBC about Postgate: https://twitter.com/jgrahamc/status/782295197078224896 https://twitter.com/jgrahamc/status/782295197078224896 "I feel it is our loss that we have so far been unable to find employment for this odd but valuable person".
