This documentary looks at three moments of tension : the General Strike of 1926, the Thatcher years, and the Iraq war when Tony Blair was Prime Minister.The first two are within our time period. It is only half an hour, and very clearly presented. It is rather critical of the BBC.

These moments of tension are not so common.
The documentary gave rise to a follow-up debate, including the views of some who think that the tensions between the BBC and ministers do not change the fact that the two generally defend the establishment. A number of proposals for changing the way the BBC is organized and financed are discussed.
