Inside the Bbc: British Broadcasting Characters

By Leonard Miall

This informal history of the BBC is the result of Leonard Miall's close personal dealings with many of the people who made the BBC the envy of world broadcasting. Beginning with Lord Reith, the book gives a fresh insight into Reith's complicated personality, and goes on to provide revealing portraits of such colleagues as David Attenborough, Paul Fox, Grace Wyndham Goldie and Huw Wheldon. There are also profiles of Sir Robin Day, Gilbert Harding, Cliff Michelmore, Ludovic Kennedy, Richard Dimbleby and others. Miall also considers the future of the BBC under the Birt regime.
