SPECIAL PROGRAMMES

FOR CHRISTMAS

With Christmas only a week off, the broadcasting hours between now and then are packed to the hilt with seasonal entertainment which reaches its peak on Christmas Day with the Commonwealth Christmas programme at 6 o'clock and Her Majesty The Queen's Christmas Message at 6.45 that evening,,

It's been the custom for many years

for Her now

Majesty's Christmas broadcast to be pre- ceded by the programme which, for a little while, links the people of the Commonwealth to each other. In most years the centre of operations for this has been the B.B.C. in London, with the single exception of 1953 when the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were touring Austra- lla and New Zealand at Christ- mas time, and the B.B.C. Features producers worked from Sydney. This year, too, Sydney Is the headquarters, and for the first time since the Christmas Link-up began, the B.B.C. has had nothing to do with its organisation.

"The Young Commonwealth" —this year's title—is entirely the responsibility of the Austra - lian Broadcasting Commission's Drama and Features Depart. ment. It will emphasise the forward looking younger Commonwealth tries and the future they within the peaceful context of evolutionary democracy.
