Transcripts for print and radio written for the BBC by Tom Baistow. Also includes a file of Baistow's BBC radio contracts.

Only certain segments of this work have been dated, the section has an estimated date range of between 1971 and 1976, the unmarked pieces may have been produced before or after this time. There were originally four files in this section when the work was donated to the archive. These have since been resorted in order to move non-BBC copy to a separate section (ETB/8) and merge all BBC Copy into one file (ETB/6/2).

The work in this series can be grouped into four sections:

Transcripts for Women's Hour on BBC Radio 2, for which Baistow was a regular news commentator, written between 2 September 1971 and 3 May 1973. All are dated and are in chronological order.

News commentary transcripts written for the BBC World Service. These span from 1 May to 5 June 1972 and are also in chronological order.

Four transcripts for BBC Overseas, all part of the About Britain series, written between 7 October and 28 October 1977.

A selection of copy from Letter from London, presumably a BBC talk show aired on BBC World Service. All of these pieces are undated.

Ian Trethowan, Sir Michael Swann
