Now we're cooking (as Philip himself might have said.)
Here from our very own Whirligig Snippets section:

The Woman's Hour House

On Monday 1st October until 10th December 1956, Woman's Hour launched a fortnightly programme series: "Castle in the Air". Radio Times announced that: "Most women have definite ideas on the decoration and furnishing of a home; Woman's Hour is now going to give them the opportunity of expressing their views". Jeanne Heal introduced the series and discussed all aspects of room design and colour with professional and non-professional experts. To correspond with the transmission a questionnaire was printed in Radio Times, which the listener completed, cut out and sent in to the BBC. Unbeknown to the listeners, it had already been agreed between the organisers of the Ideal Home Exhibition and editorial staff of Woman's Hour that a house would be provided the following March for the results to be turned into a reality. The "Winchester" House built by Berg was chosen to fulfil the link between contemporary and traditional design. Outside, the front elevation boasted a pillared porch with a balcony over, and wooden shutters at all the windows. The interior was more modern and included a hatch between the kitchen and dining area, which could also be used as a breakfast bar. In 1957, £3,500 would have bought this three-bedroom dream house.

Also found one prog from June 1956 in the "Meet Jeanne Heale" series (apparently held by the BFI). Her interview with the late Jean Cocteau (another forgotten name from the fifties!) Other interviewees included Maria Callas and the scary Dame Ninette De Valois.

She also presented features on "Woman's Hour" and was the architectural advisor on a worthy sounding but presumably boring British film of 1946 called "The Way We Live". Part plotted propoganda documentary by the sound of thgis synopsis from IMDB.

About halfway through the Second World War in Britain, people started envisaging a brave new postwar world. "The Way We Live", made shortly after the war, taps into this idealism.

This movie reminds me of my school days, when we were ushered into a darkened room and treated a film on some instructive subject such as atomic power, fluoride or sugar production. In this case the topic was town planning, and the town in question was Plymouth. Using some slender fictional devices - a writer investigating postwar reconstruction, and a "typical" family suffering from overcrowding - "The Way We Live" sets out to inform rather than entertain. There isn't much drama, and no plot to speak of. It borrows a lot of footage from contemporary newsreels. In the end we don't even get to see the rebuilt city of Plymouth, because in 1946 the city was still awaiting reconstruction.

The names keep on cropping up. This film was written and directed by Jill Craigie , late wife of Michael Foot and delicious reader of poetry once upon a time on BBC2.
