Dr. Dominic Sandbrook is an historian, writer and broadcaster, best known for his BBC four-part history of the 1970s, aired in 2012.

He has been a panellist on BBC2’s Newsnight Review, Radio 3’s Night Waves, Radio 4’s Saturday Review and a historical consultant to Radio 4’s series 1968: Day by Day and BBC2’s The British Family and The British At Work. He has also appeared on many historical documentaries.

Previously, Dominic wrote and presented an edition of Radio 4’s Archive Hour about our obsession with anniversaries, as well as a two-part series, Slapdash Britain, on the travails of British governance since 1945. He also worked on a major 15-part series on the history of the Post Office for Radio 4, broadcast in 2011.
