About this product
Product Information
For lovers of Masterpiece Theater and watchers of the Crown , a sumptuous social history of the most British institution imaginable, that none the less was filled with brilliant emigres, pioneered liberal freedoms as it slyly impressed British superiority, and was both a chronicler and creator of some of the great events of the last hundred years. For 100 years, the British Broadcasting Corporation has served as a rare and extraordinary institution in the UK. A constant source of information, comfort and entertainment, through both war and peace, the BBC celebrates its centenary as a rare establishment that continues to serve and provide for people around the world. In The BBC former BBC producer David Hendy, an expert in broadcasting and cultural history who has privileged access to previously unused behind-the-scenes resources, tells the history of an extraordinary institution; the oldest national public broadcaster in the world. In doing so, he presents a broader cultural history of Britain, weaving into its fabric the wider world of politics, the arts, social change, and everyday life. This book is a deep examination of an extraordinary institution - woven so deeply into the culture and politics of the past century that almost none of us has been left untouched by it.

Reviews
"Much of this history has been told before but never in such well-researched depth and sparkling detail...An appropriately large-scale account of the media giant at the very heart of British life."-- Kirkus, "[A] highly readable, at times gripping, history of the BBC...I found much that was striking and new... a fascinating and informative account of the BBC's first 100 years."-- The Telegraph, "Hendy...set[s] the scene rather well of these three influential figures at the dawning of what would turn out to be this country's biggest and most significant cultural institution."-- The Observer (UK), "[E]ngaging and fair... It is very much the case for the BBC, but it is a case which, with things as they are, needs to be made; and Hendy makes it well."-- The Scotsman

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

Thank you so much for the quick response and delivery. I have not ordered from eBay in many years. You have renewed my trust that there are some professional sellers I can work with through eBay not just Amazon. Thanks again!☺️
