LONGER BROADCASTS.
Sir,-Why are we given such small déses of the BBC Brains Trust? Obviously some of the programmes are broken. off in the middle. This 15-min-ute limit seems to apply to most things -about the duration of a good kindergarten lesson. Only musicians are apparently deemed capable of listening for more than a quarter of an hour at a time to one thing. It is perhaps understandable for serials, but for listeners. to other things I think the NBS might experiment with longer programmes. For instance, Professor Gordon must have felt his limitation of time. very severely in his Winter Course this year. With so many stations to provide variety, could we not occasionally have a whole half hour in which to-think of one subject?
