In 1970, the BBC showed a
series of programmes about the history of the British Empire. Before
the series started, they advertised it. The advertisement mentioned
‘England’s history’. Within a few hours, the BBC had received
thousands of angry calls of protest and it was forced to make an
apology. Who do you think the angry callers were? Why did the BBC
apologize?
