Square Eyes

Thanks to Emma, who passes me a book which caught her eye: Michael Darlow's Independents Struggle: The Programme Makers Who Took On The Establishment - an insider's account of the cultural wars in British TV in a period in which production liberalisation could have led to a thousand flowers blooming, but instead led to cynical, patronising, cheap and reactionary television (see the BBC daytime schedule if you don't believe me).
