| Description | Boxes, tapes, and TVs labelled 'BBC', 'BBC Glasgow' and 'Seized' pile high everywhere. In front of a door labelled 'Special Branch' sits a man at a desk labeled 'Detective Inspector' who is writing a letter. Behind him a picture of Margaret Thatcher is taped to the wall.
Context: The Special Branch raided the BBC's Glasgow office and confiscated materials from their Secret Society series. Margaret Thatcher denied involvement, but the Opposition were not convinced. (Source: The Guardian 2 February 1987 via Proquest and Gibbard's Double Decade Omnibus). |
