Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Richard Dimbleby had been braodcasting for nearly thirty years when he died in December 1965 at the early age of 52. During his last five years he had fought cancer, and repulsed it many times, fulfilling some of his most strenuous and memorable assignments, without missing a broadcast. Richard Dimbleby was not only the BBC's foremost broadcaster, he was also the first in many fields - the first news observer, the first war correspondent, and the first television commentator at a Coronation. He broadcast the first live television relays across the Channel and the Atlantic and through the Iron Curtain. This book is a tribute by his colleagues to one who, as Earl Mountbatten says in his Foreward, "had millions more friends than he could ever have known". But it is also the inside history of the development of British broadcasting over an eventful generaion, reflected through the life of its greatest professional. The book contains forty-five specially written contributions from the men and women who worked most closely with him. They cover the most important periods in Dimbleby's career and some of the lighter moments, such as the Panorama spaghetti harvest hoax, that occured. There are examples of his own greatest broadcasts and writings, including some of his famous war despatches, the first eye-witness account of Belsen and his commenteries at state occasions. Well over 200 photographs illustrate all stages of his versatile career at the microphone. Twelve of the outstanding tributes publicly paid at the time of his death are also included. Foreward by Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Introduction by Sir Hugh Green.
