Television-" The edge between them (Dell and Isaacs) comes straight through on the page...The book does a good job of reminding us of all that fire and controversy"
Times Higher Education Supplement, 14/1/2000 (reviewed by Phillip Whitehead MEP)
"The Institute of Contemporary History has used one of its fascinating witness seminars to provide a different take on the early years. These have produced minor squibs in the past but this one is a genuine rocket."
Media, mad.co.uk.
"The unusal content of articles and interviews, prevents an overly biased narrative, instead providing a refreshingly clear picture of the channel"s controversial development.
