The revolution that shook the world

Over to You

Available for over a year

It was the revolution that shook the world so some 40 years later what did listeners make of The Fall of the Shah, a drama based on the real events in the lead-up to the Iranian revolution? Plus was the BBC World Service right to publish the story “You’re never too young to start doing drag” on its social media sites? It tells the story of 11-year-old Desmond Napoles from the US. But many of you feel he was he being exploited. Presenter: Rajan Datar Producer: Howard Shannon
