Description
"A wonderful combination of deadpan English comedy and surreal farce." - A. S. Byatt "A tribute to the unsung and quintessentially English heroism of imperfect people." - New Criterion When British listeners tuned in to the BBC's Nine O'Clock News in the middle of 1940, they had no idea what human dramas-and follies-were unfolding behind the scenes. Targeted by enemy bombers, the BBC had turned its concert hall into a dormitory for both sexes, and personal chaos rivaled the political. Amidst the bombs and broadcasts two program directors fight for power while their younger female assistants fall prey to affairs, abandonment, and unrequited love. Reading this intimate glimpse behind the scenes of the BBC in its heyday, "one is left with the sensation," William Boyd wrote in London Magazine, "that this is what it was really like." This new edition features an introduction by Mark Damazer, along with new cover art.
