About this listen
In this episode, Dermot Murnaghan is joined by broadcasting legend Anne Diamond OBE, for a journey through journalism, personal loss, and untold wartime history.
From turning around TV-am to uncovering her father’s secret role in inventing radar, Anne reflects on a career built on curiosity, compassion, and determination.
She opens up about the behind-the-scenes battles at TV-am, being tabloid fodder in the '80s, and how tragedy spurred her to launch a public health campaign that saved tens of thousands of babies' lives.
Anne also reveals:
- Why Dennis Healey stormed off live TV after challenging her on air
- What it took to cover the fall of the Berlin Wall as chaos unfolded around her
- How she coped with grief and turned it into a national campaign
A broadcaster who defined morning television — and turned personal experience into lasting change for families nationwide.
