The New Elizabethans by James Naughtie

The New Elizabethans by James Naughtie

The official tie-in to the landmark new series on Radio 4, written and presented by one of the UKs leading commentators on social and political life Jim Naughtie.

As with all lists of this nature, there is a strong element of subjective judgement which allows for discussion and argumentBut, as a representation of the past 60 years, I think it stands up to scrutiny. The series begins on June 11 and will be presented by James Naughtie, which can be the only explanation for why he wasn't on the list. – Simon Kelner, The Independent

Whatever you thought about the BBC's television coverage of the Jubilee, I defy you not to admit that some of the attendant radio has been exceptional. I loved The New Elizabethans (Radio 4), James Naughtie's 15-minute explorations of people who had changed the world under Elizabeth II. – Clare Heal, The Sunday Express

For many years a political correspondent, first on The Scotsman and then The Guardian, Jim is now a household name as presenter of Radio 4's Today Programme. He has known Gordon Brown and Tony Blair for twenty years and his book about them, The Rivals, was a great success with Fourth Estate. He has written The Accidental American, a book on Tony Blair, which is selling superbly in the US and UK. Murray published The Making of Music: a Journey with Notes, a book on the history of Western Music to accompany the BBC radio series.
