Many thanks to Mike Barraclough who shares this documentary about the BBC World Service from 1982: “Hang On, I’ll Just Speak to the World.”
I’ve embedded video players and linked to each of the four parts on YouTube:
The SWLing Post
Shortwave listening and everything radio including reviews, broadcasting, ham radio, field operation, DXing, maker kits, travel, emergency gear, events, and more
There is a part three to this you can get it here:

Announcing on the BBC World Service would be a dream job.
Thank you – what a great look at the BBC World service. Fantastic viewing and the documentary brought back memories of my fortunate visits to Bush House. In the same era that this documentary was made I worked in Asia and the Middle East and the BBC World Service was daily listening for me. Often I would be out of contact with my office in Seattle and home in Australia for weeks at a time, so the service kept me in touch with the rest of the world.
