It's absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I'm not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night.

I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.

I adore Madonna. She reinvents herself like no one else.

Programme names have been changed, and we have Andrew Neil saying he won't be using long words.

I was disappointed not to be able to interview Mr. Clinton. I met him two years ago. I was looking forward to talking with him about issues from Africa to terrorism.

I deplore the loss of arts on BBC One and Two.

I'm not certain that the BBC can claim to be making a wide enough range of distinctive programmes to make the case convincingly.
