Talk:Serpell Report

David Serpell
As David Serpell redirects here, I have added a section on his background which illustrates why he was appointed. I do however wonder if he merits an article in his own right as, beyond the report that he is most famous for, his work as a civil servant and for other bodies was quite significant.

BBC archive revelations
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0015kqr gives details about the leaking of this report:

''The extraordinary untold story of a very British hero. A man called Reg, who risked his life and liberty to save Britain’s railways. The secret document he leaked became known as Britain’s Pentagon Papers - and what started out as an attempt to expose the truth soon became a fight for the freedom of the press.''

Fifty years on, Lines of Duty tells the incredible story using the whistleblower’s own unpublished account, brought to life by actor Toby Jones, alongside interviews with many of those involved.
