| Description | A man [Lew Grade] holds a sword labeled 'Financial Censorship'. He wears a belt labeled 'Adverts on the beeb'. A much smaller Margaret Thatcher stands next to him with her hand outstretched as though stopping him from swinging the sword. They stand at the top of a castle, with various figures running up the stairs to get to them. One unidentified figure carries a woman in his arms labeled 'Independence' who appears dead. Behind them, Leon Brittan fights a BBC journalist standing over a corpse labelled 'Governors'.
Context: Leon Brittan and Thatcher wanted to introduce adverts to the BBC. |
