Melvyn’s broadcasting career began at the BBC in 1961 and soon afterwards he published his first novel. He worked on the arts programme Monitor and in 1977 started LWT’s The South Bank Show. The programme was de-commissioned in 2010, when Bragg took the format across to Sky Arts. Melvyn has expanded his range, marshaling discussion shows on BBC Radio 4 (In Our Time). He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society and of The British Academy and a member of the House of Lords.

She is responsible for all production output and for the operational running of the company.
