“A wonderful combination of deadpan English comedy and surreal farce.” — A. S. Byatt
“A tribute to the unsung and quintessentially English heroism of imperfect people.” —New Criterion
When British listeners tuned in to the BBC's Nine O'Clock News in the middle of 1940, they had no idea what human dramas—and follies—were unfolding behind the scenes. Targeted by enemy bombers, the BBC had turned its concert hall into a dormitory for both sexes, and personal chaos rivaled the political. Amidst the bombs and broadcasts two program directors fight for power while their younger female assistants fall prey to affairs, abandonment, and unrequited love. Reading this intimate glimpse behind the scenes of the BBC in its heyday, “one is left with the sensation,” William Boyd wrote inLondon Magazine, “that this is what it was really like.”
This new edition features an introduction by Mark Damazer, along with new cover art.

PENELOPE FITZGERALD (1916–2000) was one of the most elegant and distinctive voices in British fiction. She won the National Book Critics Circle Award in fiction for The Blue Flower, the Booker Prize for Offshore, and three of her novels—The Bookshop,The Gate of Angels, and The Beginning of Spring—were short-listed for the Booker Prize.
