One question you have to ask about the famous 1950s/1960s ad man, David Ogilvy, the greatest advertising man the world has ever seen, the first among the so-called “Mad Men” as they were labelled in the recent TV series about the Madison Avenue advertising industry, is what was he up to spying on the British

Ambassador, his own boss, in Washington DC. Was David a double agent for the Nazis? That and many other questions will be answered in this programme – in
fact I can guarantee you that by the time you get to the end of this programme you’ll be curiously refreshed. If you want to know what that means you’re going
to have to listen.
