Arrangement
This section is split into two main threads covering Magnusson's television work and his radio work. For major series such as the scripts and research for 'Chronicle' material has, as far as possible, been arranged chronologically in the order that the programmes aired. For individual scripts the material has been arranged chronologically. A few miscellaneous scripts, where Magnusson has provided narration for pre-recorded programmes, have been added at the end of the sequence.
