Are the BBC's flaws a price worth paying?

Across the Red Line

Available for over a year

Jonathan Dimbleby, who has presented many political and current affairs programmes for ITV and the BBC, and Dorothy Byrne, former Head of News and Current Affairs at Channel 4, debate whether the BBC's flaws are a price worth paying. Then presenter Anne McElvoy and conflict resolution expert Gabrielle Rifkind invite each guest in turn to try to discover what drives the other's viewpoint - and to articulate it back to its holder. Producer: Phil Tinline
