Gregson writes in response to a telephone conversation when BR expressed his willingness to be on the Overseas "London Forum". BR made it clear that acceptance was conditional on its being picked up by the Home Service. Gregson is concerned that this is the start of a trend.

Gregson mentions a new series of talks for BR and Lord Samuel on "Popular Philosophical Antitheses". The first talk in question is "Religion and the Young" with Lord Hailsham.
