Political Rhetoric

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/3. Former parliamentary sketchwriter Edward Pearce goes in search of the heart of good political speaking, from the high style of the 18th century to the barnstorming public address and subtleties of the modern media age. Tonight he looks at the best and the worst of classic Parliamentary rhetoric: florid, abstract and deadly. Producer Simon Hollis
