Riassunto

Number 2 in the Series: 'Days And Awaydays in BBC News'
Trashing The Train Set is the second book in a funny-but-sad trilogy about the decline of BBC News in the 21st Century. The first book, Greg Dyke My Part In His Downfall, showed the thirteenth Director-General of the BBC playing it for laughs instead of mastering the detail. The man chosen to be Greg’s successor was Mark Thompson, an ambitious career-builder of the Oxbridge type. He joined the BBC as a graduate trainee and headed straight for the inside track. But when Mark finally clinched the ultimate prize he turned out to be a Midas in reverse – all that was gold turned to dross in his hands.
