Keep Talking: A Broadcasting Life

David Dimbleby, Hodder & Stoughton, £24.99 In his half-century with the BBC, David Dimbleby has been at almost every major event in British history. He’s interviewed prime ministers and presidents, chaired Question Time for 25 years and anchored live coverage of historic national and world events from General Elections to the funeral of Diana Princess of Wales. Now, in this no-holds-barred nine hour audio, the veteran broadcaster eschews his position of neutral observer to lift the lid on what he really thinks about monarchy, politics and the state of the UK.
