The Taming of the BEEB - World in Action Thames TV 29 February 1988

TV documentary on Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in Britain in the 1980s, constraining BBC independence. Coverage of Ireland was a major factor. It details packing the BBC Board of Governors with right-wing Thatcher supporters. Later, after ITV and BBC documentaries undermined official explanations for shooting dead, in March 1988, three unarmed IRA members in Gibraltar, direct state censorship was imposed on all British broadcasters.

(Apologies for quality of video-audio in places.)
