18. Survey histories of this period barely touch on Annan. For background to Annan, see Briggs, Competition, 829, 847, 884, 995, 1000. The process and the outcomes have been sharply criticised, for which, see Nicholas Garnham, Structures of Television (London: BFI, 1980), 47, 49, 51, 53; Bernard Donoughue, Prime Minister. The Conduct of Policy under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan (London: Jonathan Cape, 1987), 119; James Curran and Jean Seaton, Power Without Responsibility (London: Routledge, 4th ed. 1991), 296; Des Freedman, Television Policies of the Labour Party 1951–2001 (London: Frank Cass, 2003), 101–103; Darlow, Independents, 171. These criticisms focus on the failures of policy and outcomes and do not touch on the wider issues discussed here.
