It would be interesting to see the evidence behind the statement "government ownership is holding Channel 4 back", considering the Government has no input in how C4 is run (they appoint the Board, but don’t have day to day oversight - or is she implying that the Government appointees are holding C4 back?).

Did you hear that car crash when she was called out for the "receipt of public money" line, omg how on earth are these people put in positions of responsibility, it's not like she hasn't got previous form for being completely out of her depth and ignorant of the very position she's attempting to defend, a woefully inept and incompetent individual that should have been put out to pasture long ago
