When Richard Dimbleby died ten years ago he was Britain's foremost broadcaster. To many he was an institution that embodied establishment values and received opinion. In a conversation with Roger Clark, Jonathan Dimbleby, whose controversial biography has just been published, talks about the man and the myth.
He examines the dispute between Richard Dimbleby and the BBC that ended with his resignation in 1945, the rivalries and jealousies that clouded his career and the attempts to 'oust' him from Panorama. Jonathan Dimbleby also names some of the people inside and outside the BBC who tried to do him down.
