Beryl Hallam Augustine Tennyson (10 December 1920 – 21 December 2005) was a British radio producer. Beryl Hallam Augustine Tennyson was born in Chelsea, the third son of Sir Charles Tennyson and Ivy Pretious, and the great-grandson of the Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Tennyson was educated at Eton College and Oxford University.[1] He married Margot Wallach (1921-1999). He and his wife Margot had a son, Jonathan Tennyson (born 1955), and a daughter. After the death of his wife, Hallam revealed his homosexuality.[1] Hallam joined the BBC World Service in 1956, working as a radio producer and becoming assistant head of drama.[1] His own radio play The Spring of the Beast, an account of the friendship between Henry James and author Constance Fenimore Woolson, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 as the Monday Play [1] on 26 May and repeated as Afternoon Theatre on 31 May 1986. James is depicted as unable to overcome his inhibitions against loving either a woman or another man. Hallam Tennyson was stabbed to death in his bed, at home in Highgate, in December 2005.[2] His murder remains unsolved.[3]
