| There is one trend in programming that independent production will accelerate and should be slowedthat is
the trend to pay too much regard to the lure of overseas sales, a siren song that can
drive good men bonkers. The best of British TV has always been made for our own audience.
I hope that in the 1980s, those who make our programme choices will not be too easily
tempted by the prospect of profit overseas. |
