In his memo, Attenborough said community programmes could “broaden the spectrum of viewers currently broadcast” and “throw up real originality in programme style.”

Possible topics for the new live programmes could be “New music, odd minority sports, solutions to traffic congestion, radical alternatives to prison, preventitive dentistry.”

Really highlights just how consolidated and soulless most TV is nowadays. When you appeal to the lowest common denominator, you trade original thoughts, critical thinking and expanded worldview for more favorable advertisement spots.

Bless this man.
