The ABC of the 大象传媒
To celebrate 100 years of the 大象传媒, Daljit Nagra chooses The ABC of the 大象传媒. Presented by Wendy Cope. From 2008.
Poet Daljit Nagra chooses The ABC of the 大象传媒 to mark 100 years.
The 大象传媒 was formed on 18th October 1922 to inform, educate and entertain. Daily broadcasting began on November 14th, 1922.
Published in 1928, Eleanor Farjeon's The ABC of the 大象传媒 is a collection of alphabet poems - giving a lively impression of the corporation in its early days.
This inspired Wendy Cope to offer her own specially commissioned ABC of the 大象传媒, depicting the broadcaster in a contemporary light.
Interspersed readings from both collections offer some humorous insights into how things have changed.
Producer: Julian May
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in August 2008.
