Grace Wyndham Goldie
(1900-1986)

Died aged 86

Grace Wyndham Goldie (née Grace Murrell Nisbet; 26 March 1900 – 3 June 1986) was a British producer and executive in television for twenty years, particularly in the fields of politics and current affairs. During her career at the BBC, she was one of the few senior women in an establishment dominated by men. Beginning as a radio producer, Wyndham Goldie soon moved into television and pioneered many of the formats now taken for granted in Britain. She became Head of Talks and later Head of the Current Affairs Group at BBC Television. David Attenborough described her as "one of the most influential of television's pioneers [...] During her career she helped and encouraged countless people who were working in the medium and excited by its possibilities."
