This is a brief designed to allow for ideas that carry an ambition that works beyond the traditional<br />
commissioning brief format. Where ideas do not naturally fit into commissioning briefs, or where<br />
ideas are outside of the traditional schedule, please propose them under this banner.<br />
This category is designed to give more opportunity for innovative ideas, special events and seasons<br />
to flourish. The seasons have worked extremely well, adding impact and range throughout the<br />
schedule, encompassing slots across comedy, documentaries, weekday and weekend output.<br />
Examples of ideas that have been offered and commissioned are;<br />
The People’s Songs<br />
Featuring memories contributed by Radio 2 listeners, Stuart Maconie narrates the story of post-war<br />
Britain via 50 records that soundtracked this dramatic and kaleidoscopic period.<br />
The People’s Songs is a weekly series that started in January 2013 on <strong>BBC</strong> Radio 2.<br />
Across 50 episodes, Stuart Maconie will present the epic story of how modern Britain was fashioned<br />
and shaped, as told by the music, stories and memories of this nation’s people.<br />
From “We'll Meet Again” to “Ghost Town”, from “Rehab” to “God Save The Queen”, we’ll tell the<br />
story of modern Britain via the records that sound-tracked the times - a period of conflict, social<br />
change, parties, prosperity, plenty, poverty, peace and war.<br />
This is a people's history; these are The People's Songs; the audience can help us make history!<br />
Memories, photos, comments, and song suggestions from the listeners help shape each<br />
programme.<br />
