    Some thoughts on change management at the BBC. Keep Coronation Street, Antiques Road Show and Song of Praise. Order up lots more Dr. Who and while we are at it some more Space 1999 (making sure to keep the year in the title as is). Bin the rest with the possible exception of Pets Win Prizes unless that is ITV.

    And how is the BBC supposed to keep Coronation Street, pray?

    No, don’t expect facts here, what matters is that the guy got rid of a SF show twenty-something years ago, which obviously disqualifies him from being Chairman of the BBC board of governors now.

    When Grade canceled all those sci-fi shows, did he yell “EX-TER-MI-NATE” in a harsh metallic voice?

    Yes Grade is responsible for so much quality programming…
