This just sent to me by Sotheby's summarising the press coverage of the Lady Soames story.... You've probably seen/listened to the various BBC links already, but here they are just in case:
Today programme main story: https://audioboom.com/boos/2543660-the-churchill-legacy Stories on BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29528472 (on offers in lieu) flagged on their home page http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ And on the sale (with fabulous video of Emma) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29483047 An FT story has also just gone up (it should be in tomorrow's paper). It makes it clear that the offer in lieu is not yet a done deal, which is helpful: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/341489f4-4eeb-11e4-b205-00144feab7de.html?site edition=uk#axzz3FZVkqn6K We're also expecting a piece to run on South East TV News at 6.30 tonight, as well as stories in the Telegraph and Mail (and possibly Times too) tomorrow. I will send through links/scans in the morning, and we'll also try and find a link to Allen's piece on BBC radio Oxford (thank you Allen!) And finally, Jeremy just flagged Jonathan Jones' piece on the Guardian website. The opening paragraph made my heart stop - but it gets better as you read! http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/08/churlish-britain-tu rn-down-churchill-paintings -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 October 2014 19:43 To: [email protected] Subject: [ChurchillChat] Re: BBC website one up on BBC Radio 4 Dear Mr Heydel, Many thanks - very informative.
