British independent intelligence services expert

Dr Stephen Dorril is a British academic, author, and journalist. He is a senior lecturer in the journalism department of the University of Huddersfield and is director of the university's Oral History Unit. He has written a number of books, mostly about the UK's intelligence agencies.

His research interests in the intelligence field are the relationship between the secret agencies (primarily British), government, politicians and policy-makers, both at an individual and bureaucratic level.

The Lobster

With Robin Ramsay, Dorril co-founded the magazine Lobster, but where Ramsay, according to Dorril, "went through something of a self-confessed mid-life crisis and unceremoniously ejected Stephen Dorril, stole the Lobster name, subscription list and back copies."

Stephen Dorril has appeared on radio and television as a specialist on the security and intelligence services. He is a consultant to BBC's Panorama programme. His first book Honeytrap, written with Anthony Summers about the Profumo Affair, was one of the sources for the 1989 film Scandal.
