The #Dimbleby series on the monarchy for the BBC has been terrific. Right to raise the big issues, and driven by a marvellous performance from David: shrewd and sharp.
Excellent first episode of David Dimbleby's series on the monarchy. He's pretty critical of Charles over the famous spider letters. Did a touch of sibling rivalry with brother Jonathan (a pal of Charles) in the Dimbleby Dynasty play a role? https://t.co/Q3Gimz1c1b
Last night I watched the first ep of #Whatsthemonarchyfor on @BBCOne with the legendary David Dimbleby (still a cheeky twinkle). A welcome return with a 3-parter on the Royals starting with the power they wield. Is the King as vocal as when he was Prince? Stellar guests too! 8/10
Launching tonight on BBC One at 9pm is the first of a three part documentary series What’s The Monarchy For?
Written and presented by David Dimbleby it investigates the power, wealth and survival of the royal family. I was executive producer.
@MichaelLCrick Really sad news. One of my broadcast heroes. So unassuming always, steely when required, but twinkly too. Wise. Old school but ageless. Above all, decent.

‘Harford’s guide to fixing the economy is elegant & simple’ The Telegraph
Watch #Skint: The Truth About Britain’s Broken Economy with @TimHarford now on @Channel4
Must MUST watch: Channel 4 ‘Skint: The Truth About Britain’s Broken Economy with Tim Harford (started 9pm Monday 1st) devastating analysis of devastating Tory Gov’t failure since 2010. Why have we put up with crap frankly wrong decisions?
#Skint laid bare the truth about Britain's broken economy @Channel4, using statistics to devastating effect. Our performance has lagged well behind comparable countries. Sunak in this election simply offering more of the very prescriptions that have landed us in the current mess.
#C4's #skint programme is fascinating... one of the best I have seen in ages ... explains why the UK is broken, starting with Thatcher, the bank crisis, 14 years of tory government, brexit ... compulsory viewing @UKLabour
