Book your place at the Brian Winston Memorial lecture on Friday 10 November 2023. Titled, “Prime Ministers and TV – the Love-Hate Relationship”, the talk will be delivered by award-winning documentary maker Michael Cockerell.
Event summary:
Every modern prime minister has loved, hated, or feared television. Some have done all three. Award-winning documentary maker Michael Cockerell has filmed and interviewed 10 prime ministers over the years. In this public lecture, he will tell the tragi-comic inside story of the battle for control between the PMs and the broadcasters. He will reveal how the two sides have become increasingly savvy and sophisticated – with each accusing the other of dirty tricks and fake news.
The event will be held in the Isaac Newton Building lecture theatre and will start at 6.30pm.
