Some of JSP's programmes were a break from the norm and at the time cutting edge. Fair to say she did produce some stinkers but on the whole it was fresh , exciting television and certain style elements are stil evident today. Used to love Network 7 on a Sunday. Even the dodgy camera work. Pamela Stephenson did a great impression of her too. |

Looking at the TV ratings on today's Saturday Culture page from the Sunday Times, I note my Entertainment USA series, 20 years ago on BBC2, had ratings over 9 million a week - nothing on any channel for the August week in the Culture section got 9 million.
Living in the past? Yes, of course it was a different time - no internet (virtually), many more channels now, satellite...
But we had problems then too - and 9 million viewers was a cracking audience even then.
Even No Limits reached almost 6 million early evenings on BBC2 - better than most BBC1 and ITV series these days; on a par with The X Factor.
But I couldn't get any other series commissioned. The executives were busy giving them all to Janet Street Porter, whose shows nobody watched.
Funny old world. |
