'Thoughtful, very readable ... We have been lucky, lucky, lucky to
have him' - The Times 'Pithy and amusing' - Sunday Times David
Dimbleby has interviewed prime ministers and presidents, made
award-winning documentaries, chaired Question Time for 25 years,
and anchored the BBC's live coverage of historic national and world
events. KEEP TALKING is David's wry look at his own extraordinary
career, and the people, events and controversies he has encountered
along the way. As a broadcaster for the BBC, David had an
obligation to appear a neutral observer. Now finally 'off the
leash' he writes without inhibition but with his characteristic
wit, clarity and insight, about monarchy, politics, and the state
of Britain. His book is enlivened with honest accounts of
broadcasting from the inside - from commentating on Diana's funeral
to anchoring ten successive General Election night results
programmes. The faux pas, the secrets of the craft and what he was
really thinking are shared for the first time. He reveals his own
battles with politicians; queries the purpose and effect of
political interviews; and considers the power of broadcasting -
through programmes such as Question Time - to explore and amplify
the public voice. Whilst profoundly British, the book ranges wider,
in particular reflecting David's time in many countries, including
Southern Africa and the United States. David has been there for us
at nearly every major national event of the last fifty years.
Serious, outspoken, and leavened with humour, KEEP TALKING reveals
how David has seen it all - and is now telling it as he sees it.
