Greg Dyke by Greg Dyke

How did a short bald, man with a speech impediment have such an impact? How indeed? Like his life, Inside Story is a pacy romp. Honest and heartfelt, it should be required reading. Observer

‘Formidable’' Guardian

‘Very entertaining and lots of jokes.’ Daily Mail

‘Both Dyke’s critics and admirers will find what they want in this straightforward book.’ Evening Standard

‘A must-read for anyone interested in the history of British broadcasting. The once famous names of great progammes…float past as he spiritedly recreates the intensity of the wars over franchises and breakfast television…A good read and an historical contribution.’ Brenda Maddox, Literary Review

‘The most accessible of all books written by those who have held high office in the BBC.’ Irish Times
