Paul Dacre is set to “lift the lid” on his 26 years as Daily Mail editor in a three-part documentary series to air on Channel 4.

The World According to Paul Dacre will include the influential and often controversial newsman’s views on the death of Princess Diana, the murder of Stephen Lawrence, the Blair and Cameron regimes and Brexit.

Each episode will run for an hour and promises a “unique journey through a quarter century of British history from the man who wrote the headlines: ‘Murderers’ and ‘Take a Bow Britain!’”
