A very poor bit of journalism on Newsnight. I didn't think it was too bad. And in a sense you could blame me for some of the faults, as Matt Prodger rang me about 24 hours earlier but I was away and only got his message after Newsnight went out. I certainly would have corrected the 'bigamy' accusation. Anyway, I thought Philip Knightley made some sensible remarks, and I was glad to hear Roland Chambers himself coming to the conclusion most of us have about whether AR was a double agent, ie "Yes, but well, no actually."
One thing the new book has achieved is an unprecedented sudden media interest in AR. This is set to go on - the Sunday Telegraph will be running a review this weekend, together with a 'background' piece. I did manage to get some input into that, but whether it will make any difference remains to be seen.
