The BBC
Downing Street
And 45 minutes that changed
everything
MAY 2003. As
Simon, Gilly and their new research assistant Arabella toil
away in the Radio Special Projects unit at Television
Centre, another BBC journalist named Andrew Gilligan is
making a fateful broadcast over the morning airwaves about
Iraq's "missing" weapons of mass destruction.
What begins with a seemingly innocuous phrase soon evolves
into a major confrontation between the Corporation and
Downing Street's spin machine. The insults fly. The
politicians hold hearings. A weapons scientist named David
Kelly is exposed. And the rest of the media have a field
day.
How Andrew Gilligan's words transform the BBC's fortunes --
and the lives of Simon, Gilly and Arabella -- is the subject
of this fast-paced and thought-provoking new play.
