I noted the points you made, but they weren’t questions for me to answer. I don’t speak for Nadine or anyone else in government. I notice you didn’t answer my questions either..

By making those shows, Channel 4 gets the profits to reinvest in the shows that profit-for-shareholders commercial broadcasters don't touch with barge pole.
Where are those shows?

To be fair, Channel 4 has a lot of new series in prime time starting next week, but I wouldn’t call them unique. They could have appeared on any channel, frankly.

A Lake District Farm Shop
Inside the Superbrands
SAS: Who Dares Wins
The Cane Field Killings (yes, I will watch that one)
Dispatches
Travel Man
Derry Girls
Hullraisers
Grand Designs
Naked Attraction’s Best Naughty Bits (oh, please!
Luxury Homes & Gardens for Less
Taskmaster
Hotel Chocolate at Easter

So which of those, watchable though most of them might be, can be described as ‘unique’’? You can find many similar programmes on Sky, and they are not great, frankly.
