Days That Shook The BBC With David Dimbleby

BBC2, Tuesday, 9pm

-

This year marks the 100th anniversar­y of the BBC – it launched its first radio station back in 1922. For many people, that’s a cause for celebratio­n, but it’s also led to questions about the future of the corporatio­n. However, as David Dimbleby points out in this new series, this is far from the first time the Beeb has been under scrutiny.

His three-part series looks at how “Auntie”, as it is affectiona­tely known, has become a lightning rod for all of Britain’s frustratio­ns and injustices, as well as its success stories and celebratio­ns.As well as sharing his own memories, he speaks to current and former BBC staff members, including Emily Maitlis.
