If you are outside the world of television it is difficult, to the point of being impossible, to introduce an idea into it. Something fundamental has to change in broadcasting, if the closed world of programme makers is to open not merely its ranks, but its minds. The conditioning of fifty years in the BBC, and twenty of ITV, of whole working lives sheltered in large organisations, has to change. There are people who want to initiate programme ideas which could not be conceived within Television centre or Granada or Thames. It cannot be that broadcast communication is intended by nature to be conducted in perpetuity inside large single-minded corporations and programme companies exclusively.
