Johnny Kingdom took Bambi home & became her surrogate mother nursing her through the night after the dangerous operation to amputate her now infected limb.

But it wasnt just Johnny & his family who loved Bambi
- friends neighbours & even complete strangers would occasionally drop by with tasty treats they thought she might enjoy. But the doe in his back garden was by no means Johnnys only contact with the red deer of Exmoor.

In 1964 Mary Whitehouse launched a campaign to fight what she called the propaganda of disbelief doubt & dirt being poured into homes through the nations radio & television sets. Whitehouse senior mistress at a Shropshire secondary school became the unlikely figurehead of a mass movement: the National Viewers & Listeners Association. For almost forty years she kept up the fight against the programme makers politicians pop stars & playwrights who she felt were dragging British culture into a sewer of blasphemy & obscenity. From Dr Who (Teatime brutality for tots) to Dennis Potter (whose mother sued her for libel & won) to the Beatles
- (whose Magical Mystery Tour escaped her intervention by the skin of its psychedelic teeth)
- the list of Mary Whitehouses targets will read to some like a nostalgic roll of honour. Caricatured while she lived as a figure of middle-brow reaction Mary Whitehouse was held in contempt by the countrys intellectual elite. But were some of the dangers she warned of more real than they imagined? Ben Thompsons selection of material from her extraordinary archive shows Mary Whitehouses legacy in a startling new light. From her exquisitely testy exchanges with successive BBC Directors General to the anguished screeds penned by her television & radio vigilantes these letters reveal a complex & combative individual whose anxieties about culture & morality are often eerily relevant to the age of the internet.
