Academic rigour, journalistic flair Little reason to smile as Iannucci lays bare the tension between BBC and Tories August 27, 2015 3.54pm BST Author James Blake Director, Centre for Media and Culture, Edinburgh Napier University ‘Are you listening, John Whittingdale?“ Danny Lawson/PA We are all in this together. That, according to Armando Iannucci, was the theme of his MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. It was his rallying cry to a hall packed with TV executives, directors, commissioning editors, producers and – yes – politicians. It was a speech aimed at unifying the UK TV industry behind a single goal: to save the BBC from the politicians. Said Iannucci: We have changed international viewing for the better, but sometimes our political partners forget this. When Zai Bennett, director of Sky Atlantic, introduced the Glasgow-born creator of The Thick of It, I’m Alan Partridge and Veep, he said that the MacTaggart lecture “sets the tone for the TV festival”. In truth the tone had been set long before that moment.
