Broadcasting the Election Results FOR the second time in less than two years the nation will go to the polls on Thurs- day to choose the 625 members of the new

House of Commons. Broadcasting has again played an important part in putting the issues before the electorate. There have been thirteen broadcasts m sound by representatives of the three main political parties, and they have been

supplemented by broadcasts in television-the

first in the history of British radio. The BBC, which has striven throughout to preserve strict

impartiality, now addresses itself to the task of

broadcasting the election results. They will

be awaited with intense interest not only in the

United Kingdom but in all parts of the world.

As soon as the secrets of the ballot boxes are

known the results will be broadcast from BBC

studios to all corners of the United Kingdom, and to countless thousands of listeners overseas.

Below we give a summary of the arrangements made for announcing the results in both sound and television.

On Election night the BBC's Home Service and Light Programme will combine at 10.0 and remain open until about 3.30 a.m. to broadcast the results as they come in. In the intervals there will be programmes of light music provided by many

well-known orchestras. The Third Programme will broadcast the state of the parties in the intervals between its normal programmes until it closes down at 11.50. On Friday the Home Service will open as usual at 6.30 and will at once give a summary of the state of the parties. Further summaries and results will oe gi.ven at 7.0, 8.0, 8.30, 9.43, and 10.3. At 10.30 the Home Service will again combine with the Light Programme for election results and music until five o'clock, except for the schools period in the Home Service from 11.0 to 12.0 and from 2.0 to 3.0, and Forces Educational Broadcasts in the Light Programme from 3.30 to 3.45. Listeners will find detailed arrangements on the programme pages for Thursday and Friday.

Television Coverage The BBC Television Service also offers compre-

hensive coverage of the results, operating on the lines which proved successful last year. On election night at 10.15 viewers will he introduced to the studio panel of experts (Graham Hutton, H. G. Nicholas, and David Butler) who will analyse the returns as they come in. All results will be shown individually on caption cards and a large number of visual devices will be employed to illustrate the overall picture. Three outside broadcast units at Birmingham, Salford, and the London borough of Fulham, will capture some of the excitement of the crowds waiting to hear the announcement of their local results.

Television on Election night will continue until approximately 4.0 a.m. on Friday; will be resumed at 10.0 a.m. and continue until 5.0 pjn. The latest results WliU .be given between 5.45 and 6.0 p.m. and at 8.15 the expert panel will review the totals and the composition of the new House of Commons. This will almost certainly be one of the topics discussed in the controversial programme In the News, which returns on Friday at 9.45.

Our Election Chart We are sure that listeners will be glad to have

by them a list of the constituencies simply arranged so that tihey can jot down the results as they are announced. It will be found on pages eight, nine, and eleven. The name of each constituency in our Election Chart is worded according to the form that will be used in the broadcasting of the election results. The first letter of the first word an the name of a constituency as it is announced over the air is the key to where it will be found in our list. With the name of each constituency we have given the name of the party which last held the seat and the majority at the last election.

Gains and Losses At the last General Election, �n February 1950,

it was not possible to indicate party gains and losses in the BBC broadcasts of election results, for this election was the first to be held after the re- distribution of seats under the Representation of the People Act of 1948. This time, of course, it will be possible to indicate gains and losses.

'Radio Times' Chart for Easy Recording of the

BROADCAST ELECTION RESULTS This is a complete list of the United Kingdom's 625 Borough and County constituencies, arranged in

alphabetical order for the benefit of listeners who may wish to record the results as they are broadcast on

Thursday and Friday. The constituencies are shown in the form in which their names will be announced

over the air. With each constituency in this list is the name of the party which won the seat and its

majority at the last election

Debussy Romance in D flat...................Sibelius Chaeonne..........................Carl Nielsen Sonatine Ravel ' La cathédrale engloutie,' one of the best known of Debussy's Preludes, was suggested by a Breton legend. This tells how the cathedral of Ys, which is buried under the sea, rises once in a while, in clear morning light. As it does so the bells chime and the priests are heard intoning before the cathedral sinks again under the waves. ' Poissons d'or,' which is the last of the second series of 'Images,' is said to have been inspired by some goldfish depicted on a piece of Oriental lacquer or embroidery. It is a brilliant piece of work and a great favourite with pianists. ' Des pas sur la neige ' comes from the first book of Preludes; its characteristic rhythm is intended to suggest ' a melancholy ice- bound landscape.'

Watteau's picture ' Embarquement pour Cythere ' formed the inspiration of ' L'isle joyeuse.' which is one of Debussy's most considerable works for piano. As Cortot has charmingly put it: ' The Happy Isle sets the snare of its laughter and deligihts for carefree lovers, whose light barques lie alongside its sunny shores.' Harold Rutland

Election Results

by Television TIHE BBC Television Sefvice has made elaborate plans for an ' 'all-night' election sitting on Thursday. It aims to present the

results as completely as last year, and perhaps more swiftly With three outside broadcast units stationed in London, the Midlands, and in the North, the Television Service hopes to scoop the world by showing some results as they are being announced.

At 10.15 on Thursday night Graham Hutton will introduce the studio team: H. G. Nicholas, Fellow of New College, Oxford, and author of The General Election, 1950, and David Butler, Research Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, who took part in last year's programme. Mr. Butler has been commissioned to write the book on this election as the companion to Mr. Nicholas' volume. These experts will analyse the results as they come in and illustrate their analyses with diagrams and other visual devices.

There will be brief visits to Richard Dimbleby at Salford, Godfrey Baseley in Birmingham, and Berkeley Smith in the London borough of Fulham. These commentators and O.B. cameras will be stationed wherever the results are to be announced. In some cases it is hoped to cover the actual counting of the votes-an arrange- ment made possible by the co-operation of the respective Town Clerks. The result at Salford is usually among the first to be declared.

Except at periods early in the evening when there are likely to be long gaps between returns, the outside broadcast units will be called upon only to flash their own results: there will be no other interruptions.

The Silent Studio

Alexandra Palace will be the centre of opera- tions and two studios will be employed. The elaborate conveyer-belt system for collecting, checking, and tabulating results will be in Studio A in which there will be two cameras but no microphones; this enables the messengers, caption artists, and checkers to talk at will with- out any of their comments going on the air.

Results will be filled in on slips which already bear the name of the constituency, candidates, etc. The slips are matched with caption cards bearing the same information and taken to caption artists who use quick-drying paint to fill in the figures. The cards are then taken to studio attendants who clip them on to easels before the cameras. When results are coming in quickly the cameras will cut from one card to the next at seven-second intervals. Meanwhile duplicate slips are taken to statisticians working with slide rules to tabulate the overall figures and to assistants who translate the individual results into squares on a map of the British Isles.

Both studios will be controlled from the gallery in Studio A by the producers, Grace Wyndham Goldie and Norman Swallow. They will have direct lines to the O.B. units.

And on Friday Transmission will continue until approximately

4 a.m. and be resumed again at 10 a.m. Results will again be announced as they come in but during long gaps the cameras will focus on a board showing the state of the parties and viewers will hear music on records. A new result will be heralded by an interruption of the musical background by the ' end-of-interval ' bell as used in drama productions.

At five o'clock there will be a break for the children's programme. Results to date will be shown between 5.45 and 6 p.m. and at 8.15 the overall result will be reviewed by the studio team.

Television Drama by LIONE

A Play of Detection and Surprise

by LIONEL HALE

The people u-nil u-liile their verdict is recorded and analysed. Our pictures show a television caption artist and (right) Harry Field, the statistician, at work in the studio during last year's election report

SOMETIMES, in my meditative way and wagging my old grey poll, I wonder what drama, the novel, and the film did before

the psychiatrist was invented or, some say, invented himself. Here we have on our screens

Night of the Fourth, which might be called a ' psychological thriller.'

The play, adapted from the (post-war) German

by Jack Roffey and Gordon Harbord, has had

its scene transferred to England in general and

Scotland Yard in particular. Here, when we

first meet him. is Superintendent Roberts, an

honest and hard-working officer. A murder trial

at the Old Bailey has (from his professional

point of view) gone wrong.,The jury have dis-

agreed and a woman whom Roberts thinks is a

palpable murderess will go free--on a psychia-

trist's evidence.

ROBERTS: What's the common factor of every killing by a madman?

*

GILLMAN: Difficult to say-violence, I suppose. ROBERTS: Exactlv-violence-and absence of

motive! They shoot you, stab you or hit you, for no apparent reason, until you die, and then

go on shooting and stabbing and hitting because

they can't stop! They don't wait till you're asleep and stick a knife neatly between your ribs, and then decamp with five thousand quid in bearer bonds!

And her defence, Roberts says, is: 'I can't remember! My mind was a blank for twelve hours! I can remember nothing! ' It's

ruddy nonsense! But just because a man who.

happens to live in Harley Street stands up in the witness box and talks a lot of guff about split personalities, and irresistible impulses to kill, and all the rest of the claptrap, they believe him! Because he's a 'Harley Street Specialist' he can't be wrong, he must know! And what's the result? Half the jury swallow it hook, line and

sinker, and we're back where we started! Yet is he right? What happens if he himself

gets involved in a murder, of which his conscious

mind knows nothing? How if the honest

Superintendent himself has had a bout of

amnesia? The doctor-psychiatrist and he set

out to solve the new murder case together; and

a fascinating unravelling of a tangled skein it can be.

Now comes the old quandary for me! Being here to introduce this play, I yet can hardly say any more than I have said. For Night of the Fourth is essentially a play of detection and surprise; and it spoils any detective story if you have read the last page. So I must leave it to the performance to work out the twists and turns of the psychological theme. There is a quick and ingenious series of plot-surprises. Since they must remain surprises-no more!

* * *

THE television drama schedules for the autumn make more than interesting reading. The new Sherlock Holmes thirty-five-minute series, start- ing on October 20, will be watched by those eagle-eyed Holmes enthusiasts, banded together in the ' Baker Street Irregular ' clubs, determined to check the accuracy of the reproduction. (Have I not myself spent afternoons with that Enthusiast-in-Chief, Mr. Christopher Morley, trudging up and down staircases in Baker Street in order to identify the precise site of 221B by the number of steps?) For the longer and larger plays, there is an uncommon amount of new stuff, under the keen and compelling eye of Michael Barry. There is a considerably higher proportion of plays especially written or adapted for television.

This, of course, is ballasted with plays we've known elsewherc-Christopher Fry's ' Church ' play, A Sleep of Prisoners, and Wynyard Brown's The Holly and the Ivy, and The Late Christopher Bean, for example. Maybe the ship of television will ride higher and freer for less ballast. But there is a strong emphasis on originality. Experimental? I confess to being one of those who think-on behalf of those who pay their licences-that Experiments should be conducted in private, and not at public expense. But these innovations in the autumn schedule seem to me to be Experiments, backed by Experience-a very different matter.
