An extract from my upcoming book's audiobook. This is taken from the book's final chapter, 'Nuclear War at the BBC', and looks at the controversy surrounding The War Game. We go from the glitzy 1967 Oscar ceremony to panicked talk of mass suicides if the film made it to British television.
I hope you enjoy it.
The audiobook is read by me, and can be pre-ordered NOW from all trusted audiobook retailers. It will then be available for full download on publication day, 6th April.
