BBC to screen Campbell memoirs
Alastair Campbell has struck a money-spinning television deal with the corporation to serialise his diaries about life at Number Ten.
The series will cost the licence payer at least £500,000 and help promote Campbell's book The Blair Years, which is expected to earn him more than £1 million. The three-part series is to be broadcast on BBC2 in the next few weeks, within days of the diaries being published, says the Telegraph.
The BBC commissioned the series from the production company Liberty Bell. Campbell's fee for the serialisation has not been disclosed.
