Gregson sets out his arrangements for BR's visit to London:

On September 26 a talk with Malcolm Muggeridge on the topic "That the Notion of Progress is a Dangerous Illusion" will be recorded.
On September 27 a talk with Muggeridge and J. Bronowski responding to an anonymous article in The New Statesman on the survival of societies and their cultures will be recorded.
And on the 28th BR and Muggeridge will be joined by Peter Ustinov whose play "Romanoff and Juliet" deals with the assumptions of the national characteristics of contrasting nations, and the discussion will follow in that vein.

Gregson suggests that the series on the books of BR's youth be six installments long at 14 and a half minutes each.
