Research Department was at the forefront of broadcast engineering and had an international reputation as a result of developing new techniques. In 1993 Design Group (formerly Designs Department) merged with Research, forming BBC Research and Development.

In November 2006 the name changed to BBC Research - and it became a part of the Future Media and Technology division, along with Technology.

BBC Research remains at the forefront of broadcast engineering.

Reminiscences

Lifting the veil on Research Department at Bagley Croft, by Rex Boys
 A brief article about life in this BBC wartime outpost.

New:  My Career in the BBC: Part 2, by Richard Russell
This article follows on from Part 1 (see No. 11 here) and covers the rest of Richard's BBC career. It is listed on a Designs Department page in order to keep the two parts together but, as Richard explains, both he and the Department moved on as a result of organisational changes. Initially he moved to D&ED and then to Research and Development. Richard's achievements were spectacular and represent BBC engineering at its best.
