Introduction

Historian David hendy spoke to mat elton about the divisions of the seventies and eighties. The b b c found itself in a very different climate from the one it had enjoyed just decade before. i think this notion of a culture waris is quite relevant for the 19 sixties, although there's a difference between what was happening then and what's happening now. I thinkit its something now that itis only really engaged with, and being weaponized, in a way, by the right of the political spectrum.
