Fifty years ago, the controller of BBC 2, (now Sir) David Attenborough supported an initiative to expand the range of voices and opinions on the BBC through a specialist Community Programmes Unit (CPU). The Unit formed in 1972, a time when the function of broadcasting was subjected to intense public scrutiny in the run-up to the delayed Annan Committee, which finally reported in 1977. Using archival sources, this article builds on the limited literature on the CPU to provide a fuller account of the content it created, the contexts it used and the challenges it faced in its 30-year duration.

让人民说话——社区项目部 1972–2002

五十年前，BBC 2 台的负责人（现为爵士）大卫·阿滕伯勒（David Attenborough）支持一项倡议，通过一个专业的社区计划部门 (CPU) 扩大 BBC 的声音和意见范围。该单位成立于 1972 年，当时广播功能在延迟的安南委员会筹备期间受到了公众的密切关注，该委员会最终于 1977 年报告。本文使用档案资源，建立在有关 CPU 的有限文献的基础上更全面地介绍它创建的内容、它使用的环境以及它在 30 年期间所面临的挑战。
