Is the B B C in the Ratings War?

By the time of the gulf war in 19 90, how different was the b b c from the corporation that had reported on the falklands almost a decade earlier? Perhaps the most significant difference that we can point to is that by the time. We've not just had as director generals ean trethowan and allister miln, but we've also had michael checkland and john burt. And both of those director generals preside over a b b c that reforms itself from within in quite a drama way. So it's hard to kind of see a bb c which is failing in programm terms.
