Christmas reading

We noted just ahead of publication that Mark Byford's first book A Name on a Wall: Two Men, Two Wars, Two Destinies had secured some pretty high-profile notices - from Andrew Marr, John Simpson, Sir Michael Parkinson and Dame Jenni Murray.

Now there are some familiar names appearing on the Amazon review pages for the book. My old boss, Richard Sambrook, who worked to Mark at the BBC; Ronald B.J. Neil, who was Mark's boss, and later his employee on putting things right post-Hutton; David Seymour, former presenter of Look North, where Mark started his BBC career; and Alan Pardon.  Pardon ?  Ah, yes,.finance director of the RLNI, where Mark is a Trustee.

  1. I missed the "important" part about his book though I did enjoy this from Victoria Derbyshire when she interviewed him as he was trying to push his book.

    I wonder if the Byford family in the US might in any way benefit from this book? From his past behaviour I very much doubt it.
