http://www.northflow.fsnet.co.uk/melvyn_bragg.html
www.northtrek.co.uk / northflow.fsnet.co.uk Woody Allen was knocking about in his disguise again, trying to look like an ordinary Joe, and they all knew who he was. I mean, it had been a complete waste of time... Melvyn, now Lord, Bragg, from Wigton in Cumbria, novelist, TV personality, lover of detail, interviewer of anybody in the world prominent in the arts, happily joined a queue of secretaries and assistants to buy tea and sticky buns in a South Bank studio canteen. No flamboyance here, thought I: Wigton would be proud. He had been accused around that time of irritability, even aggression, in his media role. I observed neither, and therefore, I was irritable on his behalf. I could only conclude that if he was exhibiting irritability, it was because he felt irritable, and that this human trait was being criticised because in the higher reaches of our national life, human traits are not recognised. However, it does make me wonder: without irritability, would we have heard of Sir Robin Day? Or, in a former age, of Gilbert Harding? Bragg on painter David Hockney: He is difficult because he is so willful; he's mischievous and when you ask him a question he will deliberately not answer just to tease you. But he is very good. He always has a view of the world, David. It could change from day to day but he sees everything in an own view and tries to relate one thing to another, which is the mark of an intelligent mind. He's difficult to keep on the rails; not difficult interviewing. He'll talk for ever.

12. Melvyn Bragg
A short biography of the English broadcaster and author of fiction and nonfiction, melvyn bragg, born in 1939.
http://www.visitcumbria.com/mbragg.htm
'Melvyn Bragg'
Melvyn Bragg, now Lord Bragg of Wigton, was born in Wigton in 1939, and studied modern history at Wadham College, Oxford. He entered the media world through a BBC traineeship in 1961, taking over the editorship of BBC2's first arts programme, New Release, three years later. He is best known as the presenter of arts programs on television, especially 'The South Bank Show', in which he has made a sustained effort to present literature to a wide public in a popular and informal manner. Over nearly four decades of pioneering broadcasting he has edited, produced and presented a wealth of award-winning documentaries and programmes across the cultural spectrum. He is a prodigious author, publishing the first of more than a dozen books, For Want of a Nail in 1965, and his most recent The Soldier’s Return in 1999. He has also written a play, two musicals and several screenplays. He is currently Director of LWT Productions and the television company's Controller of Arts. Lord Bragg wrote and presented Radio 4’s Start the Week for ten years and is the writer and presenter of the In Our Time series. He also chaired this year’s Reith Lectures on globalisation and democracy and presented ITV's 20-part history of Christianity Two Thousand Years. He is President of the National Campaign for the Arts and was made a Life Peer in 1998. He is Chancellor of the University of Leeds.

16. Melvyn Bragg Interview
Interview by Simon Rose for Highbury High with melvyn bragg, a loyal Arsenal supporter, about his thoughts on football.
http://freepages.pavilion.net/users/hiburyhi/febarticles_melvyn.htm
The Melvyn Bragg Interview
Order Your Copy by Simon Rose Melvyn Bragg is the Controller of Arts at London Weekend Television and has edited and presented 'The South Bank Show' since January 1980, having joined three years earlier from the BBC. As a loyal Arsenal supporter, Melvyn misses few matches home or away, following the club on its domestic and European campaigns. Simon Rose met Melvyn, shortly before Christmas, to chat about how he became an Arsenal supporter and to discover Melvyn's opinions on Arsenal issues, both over the last few seasons and regarding the near future. Where were you brought up and what were your roots as a football supporter? I was brought up in a little town called Wigton, which is about eleven miles from Carlisle and the first football I saw was played by Wigton Harriers. A ferocious team. When my Dad came back from the War he used to take me down to Carlisle United - he'd been in the Air Force with one of the guys who played for Carlisle United...So that made me feel incredibly important for about ten minutes. Is it true that you once painted your house in Carlisle colours?

Review of melvyn bragg's novel set in a small town on the edge of England's Lake District, in which an unnamed man of 54, obsessed and yearning, begins a series of intense, cathartic letters to Bernadette, a young woman From Wordreign.
http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/wordreign/bragg.htm
Turning the Spotlight on
Melvyn Bragg
A Time to Dance This is a claustrophobic book in the beginning. The reader plunges unforewarned into the letter-writer's psyche through his secret, lovelorn, erotic outpourings and at first resists their troubling impact by sternly seeking to judge the protagonist, a retired bank manager with an invalid wife, who has inexplicably fallen in love at first sight with an 18-year-old working-class girl, the youngest daughter of the brawling, hard-drinking Kennedy family, whose background is the utter opposite of his own. Aha! snorts the skeptical reader; love, is it? just sex on the sly, you dirty old manand in so thinking falls in with the common opinion of the townsfolk watching the hitherto respectable banker make a disgraceful spectacle of himself with "that Kennedy girl." But as the letters continue, telling and ruthlessly analyzing, the reader's respect is regained, for A Time to Dance is indeed a study of love, of the striving of two only outwardly mismatched souls to bridge by any means the distances that divide them: differences in age and in social class, initial misinterpretation of one another's actions and motives, misunderstanding of one another's true feelings. By the end, perusing the last letter, the reader will be earnestly hoping that the lovers' estrangement is only temporary, a crucial phase of adjustment in an ongoing relationship. "We had a life together if only we could take it," the banker insists, "if only our fingers could touch and interlock and hold on across this chasm of time and injury which had forced us apart."

http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/B/htmlB/braggmelvyn/braggmelvyn.htm
MELVYN BRAGG U.S. Situation Comedy Melvyn Bragg has become the most articulate spokesman for the Arts on Independent Television (ITV) in Britain. As presenter and editor of The South Bank Show since 1978 and Head of Arts for London Weekend Television from 1982 to 1990 (since 1990 Controller of Arts) Bragg has attained the same fame as an Arts expert for ITV that Huw Wheldon enjoyed in the 1960s for the BBC tv arts program Monitor in the 1960s. Both Wheldon and Bragg became senior management administrators because of their successful role as Arts presenters and both became articulate authors who wrote extensively about the directions in which television should develop. Bragg was a working class boy who went to Wadham College Oxford. After Oxford he joined the BBC as a radio and later television producer, but he never forgot his origins, and viewers shared with him his genuine delight in new artistic discovery. At the BBC he worked for the Monitor program under Huw Wheldon, and became widely respected for his arts reporting. In 1967 Bragg became a freelance writer and broadcaster, working as producer and editor of New Release and Writers' World , and later presenting the BBC series 2nd House

The Soldier's Return
lecture by Melvyn Bragg
Sheffield Off the Shelf Festival
Craig O'Malley Melvyn Bragg's new book provided the subject for his talk at the Off the Shelf Festival in Sheffield.
About one hundred people gathered to hear how the respected writer and broadcaster came to write the latest in a string of historical novels. Set at the close of the Second World War, The Soldier's Return, tells the story of a combatant's unsettling return to civilian life. Like his other works of historical fiction, Bragg draws upon the characters and place of his small hometown of Wigton, Cumbria. The Soldier's Return is also influenced by his own experience as a 'war child', and the relationship with his father who returned to civilian life after serving in Burma in World War 2. During the talk, Bragg was candid about how the recent loss of his own father provided the trigger for the novel. Yet, by his use of fiction in the naturalistic literary tradition, he aims to counteract any tendency towards nostalgia or introspection. While he professed a cynicism in the alleged objectivity of autobiography and memoir, he declared himself a believer in the power of the imagination, through fiction, to make transparent hidden truths: He said "the novel could give unlimited emotional truth". His aim was to "take a real emotional part of his life, turn it into fiction and thus liberate it".
