Outlook is a radio programme on BBC World Service that broadcasts human interest stories from across the globe.[1] First broadcast in July 1966, it began as a straightforward magazine programme and was presented for more than thirty years by John Tidmarsh. More recently, it has been praised for a consistent ability to uncover fascinating stories.[2] It was credited with bringing solace to Terry Waite after his abduction by Islamic extremists in Beirut in 1987.[3] Corruption of any kind is a favourite topic on the show[4] and it has achieved recognition for its high production values alongside other BBC radio programmes.[5] It is currently presented by Matthew Bannister from BBC Broadcasting House in London.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s its theme music was "The Hellraisers" by Syd Dale.
