Christopher Lee, who has died aged 79, was a journalist, historian, playwright and novelist, and the official biographer of Lord Carrington; he was best-known as the author of Radio 4’s This Sceptred Isle (1995-6), a compelling history of Britain that became one of the most popular series ever broadcast.
“It is history written in the old style, with a broad narrative sweep complemented by a staggering depth of knowledge,” declared the historian Andrew Roberts. When the series was released on CD and cassette it sold in the hundreds of thousands, becoming the BBC’s best-selling audio book.
