Ten years of The Briefing Room

It's ten years since The Briefing Room started and to mark the anniversary David Aaronovitch and his guests ask: are we even the same people as we were back then?

It's ten years since the Briefing Room was first transmitted in May 2016. And what a decade it's been.

Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs, King’s College London
Bronwen Maddox, Director and CEO, Chatham House
Meg Russell, Professor of British and Comparative Politics in the Department of Political Science at University College London.

Presenter: David Aaronovitch
Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Sally Abrahams
