- "Television now seems to be made for people who sit in the Groucho Club rubbing each other's egos with a Nivea bar. It's certainly not what people want to watch. That's why they still enjoy the old comedies like Dad's Army (1968), Morecambe and Wise and Steptoe and Son (1962) . . . It strikes me that the new generation running television today has forgotten how to make people laugh.
- May I confess to not being quite as upset as many people at the loss of first-class cricket by BBC Television, principally because it will give viewers a chance to see the three new series I have devised. These consist of 26 programmes on gardening, 26 on travel and 26 on cooking, with a Christmas special in which a well-known gardener is invited to take a celebrity chef to some glamorous location and cook him.
