- If BSB is remembered at all, over a quarter of a century on, it's as a cautionary tale of one of the biggest disasters in British business history. But it could, and perhaps should, have been the shape of British television, if it wasn't for their own incompetence, their own rotten luck, and a certain Australian entrepreneur bypassing all the rules. That was the dream of British Satellite Broadcasting. Here's how it failed.
Part four: Square Eyes. The plan to get BSB off the ground before the nineties starts to fall apart, as fights break out over programming and the technology fails to arrive.
