"A wonderful combination of deadpan English comedy and surreal farce." -- A. S. Byatt "A tribute to the unsung and quintessentially English heroism of imperfect people." -- New Criterion

When British listeners tuned in to the BBC's Nine O'Clock News in the middle of 1940, they had no idea what human dramas--and follies--were unfolding behind the scenes. Targeted by enemy bombers, the BBC had turned its concert hall into a dormitory for both sexes, and personal chaos rivaled the political. Amidst the bombs and broadcasts two program directors fight for power while their younger female assistants fall prey to affairs, abandonment, and unrequited love. Reading this intimate glimpse behind the scenes of the BBC in its heyday, "one is left with the sensation," William Boyd wrote in London Magazine, "that this is what it was really like."

This new edition features an introduction by Mark Damazer, along with new cover art.

Love it
Color: Royal Blue Gold, Size: X-Large, Color: Royal Blue Gold, Size: X-Large
Light and fits perfectly. I bought this size1X for my 14 year old 6 ft3 225lb son. He has a bit of a belly and is kind of built like a football player. The pants don’t have pockets but they do have an elastic wast with a drawstring which makes a comfortable fit and no need for a belt. The length is perfect for his height and stops right at the ankles to accentuate the shoes. The top is also perfect for the length of his arms and torso. The sleeves stop a little below the wrist which is great for movement. The neckline is fitted and he can button it all the way up unlike other fancy shirts and without restrictions . The fabric is soft and the design on the front looks like a very good quality and is very secure. Over all I’d rate it a 5/5 for quality and fit. I recommend this to anyone big and tall.

This outfit was a gift for a friend. She always wears it when she has important events related to her association. The fabric is very lightweight, but it isn't see-through. Recommended.
