There were a couple of individual lectures that I would give 5 stars to (Jonathan Sumption from 2019 and the fascinating and prescient lecture about the EU from 1972 by Andrew Shonfield). However, I struggled with many of the rest, not least because the whole point of the Reith lectures are the coverage they get over a number of lectures on the same topic. I would have been more interested by up to date essays about lecture series, rather than simple reproductions of single lectures.
