The Reunion

Radio 4, 11am

This never-less-than-

engaging series now

reassembles the key figures

in the so-called McLibel saga,

when the fast-food giant

McDonald’s began an action

against two Greenpeace

activists — Helen Steel and

David Morris, right — who

had distributed leaflets

claiming that the company’s

burgers were both unhealthy

and bad for the environment.

The pair were unable to get

legal aid and so faced the

prospect of having to

represent themselves in court.

Keir Starmer was a young

lawyer at the time and was

keen to help, offering his

services free. Ben Dowell
