麻豆社

TV presenter Michael Aspel looks back on one of the 麻豆社鈥檚 most controversial programmes of the 1960s, The War Game. Directed by Peter Watkins, with Michael providing some of the film鈥檚 narration, this docu-drama explored what might happen if a nuclear bomb was dropped on Britain. It was pulled from transmission by the 麻豆社鈥檚 then director general, who deemed it 'too horrifying' to be seen, leading Watkins to quit the 麻豆社, claiming government interference was to blame. Despite winning an Oscar, the film was not shown on television until 20 years later, and here, Michael looks back on the programme, the controversy and his own small part in a key moment in TV history.
