(Continued.....2nd
September 1989)
I imagine a show like this, were one to be guided by a tele
mogul's Scotsman comments on Mr Murdoch's Edinburgh
lecture, would be classified as a quality show. It is
certainly no lower on the brow than his examples of tip-top tele
- Only Fools and Horses, forsooth! His remark, that if
lower quality is a consequence of a market-led, advertising
controlled television so be it, but that we can trust its
audience to keep programme makers on their quality toes,
demonstrates that, with the likes of that opposing imminent
Murdocilisation, the battle is lost.
