Avoiding offence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften the criticisms come from its own former employees, writing for privately owned newspapers whose proprietors would be all too happy to see their competition eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so there is an urge to lay low, to play it safe, to avoid the difficult subjects. But in avoiding those pinch points, the unresolved areas of culture where our anxieties and our painful dilemmas lie, we aren\u2019t just failing to do our jobs, we are missing our greatest opportunities.\u201d<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6339520277112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>Louis Theroux Interviews season two is coming to BBC Two and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tag\/bbc-iplayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBC iPlayer<\/a> on Tuesday 7th November 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/documentaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Documentaries<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310 \u2013\u00a0<a id=\"OWA5deac9f9-4ca9-9347-4ea9-60396cf0b814\" title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/?utm_term=evergreen-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/?utm_term=evergreen-article\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and celebrate the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who with a special issue of Radio Times.
