I couldn’t help but think that he was dead right. And I’m very glad he said it because — although I might have had some differences with some of his outbursts — it takes someone with his broadcasting clout to make his colleagues sit up and listen.
Most home-grown, peak viewing time television is no longer grown-up. With even the supposedly high-class BBC2 schedules stuffed with reality pap about cooking, DIY, frocks and game shows, while BBC1 and ITV continue with their competition dramas almost invariably ending in tears, it’s nearly all escapist fun wherever you look.
Mainstream television has become something you can watch while you’re doing something else — anything else — but not something to sit down and watch seriously.
