| Summary: | This paper addresses the relationship between the BBC Director-General
Hugh Carleton Greene and the director of the West German Broadcasting
Corporation (WDR) Klaus von Bismarck between 1960 and 1969. The thrust of
the article is to point out the great potential of evaluating interpersonal
relationships and their contribution to European perspectives on television
history. The research is situated within transnational television
historiography and it argues that the relationship between the two key
personalities is manifested in multiple interdependencies, exchanges, visits
and correspondences that exemplify the long-term British impact on the
German broadcasting system as well as the bilateral cordial relations
between the BBC and the WDR. |
