Show Notes
The BBC is constantly under siege – how can it survive the 360 degree onslaught it faces? Does it make a rod for its own back? Or is stuck in a perennial catch-22? Siân Pattenden is joined by Patrick Barwise author of The War Against the BBC, to discuss the embattled broadcaster.
- “People pay for far more services that they don’t use than paying for the BBC.”
- “What is contested is impartiality.”
- “The organised attacks on the BBC come from the Right.”
- “It is a miracle it's so productive given how tightly it has been squeezed.”
