I am sure I speak for many others - Colin Shindler

'Dear Sir,
I have never before been so incensed by a T.V. programme that I have tried to telephone from my home in the country to protest. I am sorry your number was engaged, but not surprised, as no doubt hundreds of other decent citizens were also telephoning at the same time...'

For anyone who regularly feels tempted to put pen to paper, I'm Sure I Speak For Many Others is an alternative history of the BBC, from its triumphant broadcast of the coronation in 1952, to that Tynan moment, the controversial That Was The Week That Was, and the groundbreaking Grange Hill.

Stretching across over forty years of programming, these never before seen letters represent the joy, the fury and the wit of the nation.
