1956/05/04 | BR | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | Mosley, the Head of Overseas Talks and Features, asks BR to contribute an introductory talk for a series on the theme, "The Story of Colonisation". BR could be especially useful as Mosley hopes the introduction will set the standard for the study. The task "can best be undertaken by one who combines pre-eminence as a philosopher with your own firm grasp of history." If BR cares to accept, the production will fall to Roger Cary. Mosley encloses (not present) an outline of the series and probable contributors. | Re B&R C56.15 TL(CAR,X) 1 |

1956/08/02 | BR | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | Mosley replies to BR's July 30 letter to Gregson as Gregson is ill and not expected back before BR's trip to London. Mosley would like BR to continue his series of talks with Lord Hailsham and guests. As Mosley and other BBC staff are taking vacations during the holiday season, convenience would dictate that some proposed work be deferred until September. Mosley mentions that BR has "agreed in principle" to a series of 15 minute talks on books that have influenced him, and this can be recorded during autumn or winter. | Re B&R C57.06 etc. TLS(CAR,X) 1 |

1956/08/08 | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | BR | BR sends his regards to Gregson in his illness, and hopeful recovery. BR cannot manage an earlier date than September 26 to come to the BBC in London. He seeks clarification as to whether the proposed series will deal with recent books influential to BR, or rather as he had expected on books important to him in his youth. He would like to record this series at the same time as the discussion with Lord Hailsham. BR notes that Mosley will be vacationing in Aberayron in Wales and would like him to pay a visit if the distance is not too great and he has access to a car. | TLS(X) 1 |

Mosley wishes to further a discussion on the "contemporary crisis in world developments", namely whether BR should write one or a series of talks on this matter.

| 67523 1351B |
1957/02/20 | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | BR | BR is in doubt about a talk he had discussed with Mosley, as "I am not sure whether what I have to say is suitable for the BBC." BR wishes to avoid controversial details and "to develop a coldly logical argument as to the necessary next step if a nuclear war is ruled out." BR has included an abstract for his argument and asks Mosley's opinion; see record 67525. A handwritten note at the top of the page by Gordon Mosley, "I agree wholeheartedly", is dated February 2, 1957. A handwritten note at the foot of the page is marked "Confidential" and refers to BR's "moral initiative and authority (plus ? intelligence)". | TLS(X) 1 |

1957/02/26 | BR | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | Mosley has read BR's "Next Step" abstract and feels that it is "perfectly suitable" for broadcast on the BBC. He looks forward to seeing a script for it. Mosley forwards a message the department received from a Maltese priest, Reverend Father David J.G. Leech. Leech wishes BR to know that while he doesn't agree with many of BR's tenets, through the Overseas radio broadcasts Leech feels he has come to know BR "quite intimately" and admires BR's "humanity and sincerity". Leech mentions BR's broadcasts on nuclear war, and that while he has never read one of BR's books he "takes great pleasure in hearing you speak on the radio." | TL(CAR,X) 1 |

1958/02/19 | BR | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | Mosley refers to the recent success of BR's contribution to "The European Complex" series, and encloses (not present) a copy of The Listener where the series is printed. From the latter series and a talk BR recorded with Charles Snow, "Science and Survival", Mosley hopes to continue this theme with a series on the "Personal Views of a Number of Distinguished Men of Science" on science and its relationship to the individual scientist and society. | TLS(CAR,X) 2 |
| 67687 1351C |
1958/02/24 | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | BR | While BR agrees with the importance and is "very glad it is being done", he feels that he will not contribute as he "cannot think of any new way to express myself" on the themes concerned.

| 67690 1351C |
1958/03/04 | BR | BBC, Mosley, Gordon | Mosley apologizes for a delay, "owing to illness", in replying to BR's letter of February 24. As BR has declined to write an introduction to "The Scientific Mind", his talk from "The European Complex" series would make a "fitting" introduction to this new series, and Mosley asks for its use. Also Mosley encloses a draft letter sent to many "eminent men of science" asking for contributions to "The Scientific Mind" series, hoping that BR will reconsider contributing the final talk of the series on his own "methods of work and scientific attitude". | TLS(X) 1 |
