That's very unlikely to happen, because it's all classified and secret or top secret or whatever.

There are a few interviews around.

Here's an ex-director (He stopped being director in 1978) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039vhp0 - this is the first time he speaks about his time at GCHQ

Here's a radio documentary from 2010. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p007fqc4

Just be aware that Gordon Correra's programmes about GCHQ ( and prior to that MI5 and MI6 ) are made with the co-operation of those agencies.

I have written to the BBC and asked what conditions the agencies laid-down but I did not receive a reply.
