Can I recommend the current Intercooler podcast? It is devoted entirely to Richard Bremner talking about the long and complex rise and fall of BMC/BLMH / Leyland/ Austin/Rover etc from 1952 until 2005 . Thankfully , this quietly spoken and erudite man is allowed to speak virtually uninterrupted by Messrs Prosser and Frankel .

Fascinating , even if you know the story (as most of us do who lived through at last some of the era ) and a change to the lazy sniping BL usually gets.

Also nice to hear a motoring journalist who doesn't feel the need to say f*** every two minutes, or, in RB's case , at all .

Well worth an hour and a bit of your time

I’ll give that a listen tonight. I’ve never really forgiven Bremner for his damning piece about the TR6, in Car magazine years ago. irked

Will give this a go as I do like a bit of BL chod. But my previous experience of TI is that they have voices for print.
