| Description | A beaten up Leon Brittan sings '... but more, much more than that, I did it Her Way!' as Margaret Thatcher plays the piano. The audience has thrown eggs and an apple core at him. In the background, an extract of a newspaper article reads 'The Real Lives documentary on extremism in Northern Ireland, which caused the crisis at the BBC and was to have been broadcast last night, was replaced by a recorded concert by Frank Sinatra'.
Context: Brittan privately threatened the introduction of adverts on the BBC if the Real Lives documentary was not pulled. (Source: Gibbard's Double Decade Omnibus) |
