  This tale of Greg Dyke's unprecedented rise from unlikely lad to Director General of the BBC encompasses some of the most important developments in British social, political and economic life since the 1970s. It looks at Dyke's role in the group of gunslingers - which include Michael Grade, John Birt and the founders of Channel Four; his work in reviving the ailing TV-AM and the introduction of Roland Rat; his political battles and TV takeovers; and his arrival at the BBC.
