#Quote
1Ignore the obvious at your peril.
2The crime is not to avoid failure. The crime is not to give triumph a chance.
3On public service broadcasting: To make the good popular, and the popular good.
4To the extent that programs are manufactured and not made, to the extent that programs are even under the risk of being manufactured and not made, and to the extent that the stereotype is only a manufacture in disguise, the industry has failed. The entire industry exists only to make hand-make programs. - Royal Television Society Convention, Cambridge, 1970
#Fact
1Was cast in a major cameo in Chariots Of Fire but had to pull out because he did not have a Equity card.
