In 1936 Richard Dimbleby was a pioneer in ' on-the-spot ' news reporting-by 1952 he was the leading commentator in radio, as he proved in the lying-in-state of King George VI.
In the first of two weekly programmes Jonathan Dimbleby follows his father's life and work as a radio man. using recordings made over those 16 years to demonstrate a developing style and technique.
Friends, relatives and colleagues, including DAVID HOWARTH , PATRICIA HAINES , FRANK GILLARD , WYNFORD VAUGHAN-THOMAS and NORMAN HACKFORTH , reveal the Richard Dimbleby they remember.

The Way of the Left
The groups on the extreme Left. ranging from the Communist Party to the anarchists, are few and disparate but their activities are seen by many observers as a constant threat to the democratic tradition. They are accused of exerting far more influence in trade union affairs than their numbers warrant and of deliberately creating industrial unrest for political purposes.
In tonight's Analysis John Valzey considers the ideas, policies and aims of the Left and asks: how seriously should they be taken?
