Platform One - Andrew Boyle
Writer Andrew Boyle talks to Donald MacCormick about his book, The Climate of Treason, which looks at the activities of the Cambridge Spies and explores the motivation of the individuals involved. He didn't set out to expose Anthony Blunt, but happened to uncover his story along the way, thus opening this controversial can of worms.
After serving as a major in the Army during World War Two, Boyle joined the BBC in 1947 as a scriptwriter. He pioneered fast-paced investigative journalism when he was editor of the World at One radio programme and went on to become editor of the flagship current-affairs radio series PM and The World This Weekend.
