A Life in Television: An Exclusive Interview with Former LWT, ITV, Channel 4 & BBC boss Michael Grade
Manage episode 412985568 series 2624240
A very special interview here with Lord Grade (Michael Grade) whose fingerprints are all over British TV - from the days when his uncle Lew ran ATV to his own stewardship of LWT, BBC, Channel 4 and Later ITV again. Michael has launched (and axed) some of Britain's most popular TV shows.
Here he takes Ashley through a whistle stop potted history of his career, stopping off to reminisce about his time at each of the Britain's terrestrial channels along the way.
EastEnders, Neighbours, Mind Your Language, Dr Who, Jasper Carrot, Morecambe and Wise, The Big Breakfast, Four Weddings and a Funeral are just some of the iconic programmes and films that find their way into the chat.
And Michael ends with his take on the state of British TV and broadcasting today.
Enjoy!
Presented and produced by Ashley Byrne. Research by Andrew Edwards
Continuity: Andy Hoyle and Jonathan Kydd.
