In 2014, inspired by Simon Schama's Story Of The Jews, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse celebrated 50 years of BBC Two with their Story Of The 2s. This time they take inspiration from documentary maker Adam Curtis to celebrate the BBC's 100 years, with The Lovebox In Your Living Room.
Harry and Paul tell the true story of Britain's political and social evolution over the last century through the life of the BBC. By turning complete fictions into a staggering array of hard facts, they reveal details about the BBC that have been buried for decades, including...
- That the German language version of The Archers was directly responsible for the death of Adolf Hitler.
- That Muffin was a Drug Mule.
Are the BBC's enemies Right? Is the BBC Left? What's Left of the BBC? Should we all just be thankful for Attenborough, Dad's Army and Abigail's Party? If John Reith could see our BBC, would he RuPaul the day he first dreamt of placing a Lovebox in your Living Rooms?
