I adore Madonna. She reinvents herself like no one else.
I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.
The BBC produces wonderful programmes; it also produces a load of old rubbish.
You have to be damn certain you're putting something better in its place.
I'm not certain that the BBC can claim to be making a wide enough range of distinctive programmes to make the case convincingly.
Programme names have been changed, and we have Andrew Neil saying he won't be using long words.
