We notice a variety of interesting special BBC radio programs. One example was a program focusing on loval communities. For example, a small village got to tell the world about itself by radio. Lamport, a village in Northamptonshire is not even marked on most maps. The village in October 1933 was opened to radio listeners all over the world. It waschosen by the BBC to open a new series of broadcasts illustrating the life of interesting villages. It was broadcast ot the Empire as well as being picked up by America. The first Lamportian to face the microphone was Chrissie Smith, a little girl of 11. She described what Lamport looks like. She will be followed by William Dickens, the oldest inhabitant.
