"Impressive ... a direct challenge to the notion of the BBC as a pillar of liberalism and social democracy
A brilliant corrective to mainstream histories of the BBC and a valuable reminder of the need to build a democratic media that is free from vested interests
Required reading for those who want to understand Britain, and an invaluable resource for those who want to change it for the better.
An excellent critique of the history of the BBC . . an important and readable book.
