He interviews Malcolm Gerrie who blames the Internet. Malcolm was partly responsible for the absence of music on TV - he did it so badly that it killed the format (Roxy?).

TOTP had 18 million viewers when I was on it.
We got 9 million viewers for the Record of the Year in 1999.

My No Limits series peaked at 5.8 million on BBC2 in the 80s when Malcolm's bloody Tube was missing a million.

My online movie Vile Pervert: The Musical has had 26,000 full length views/downloads in a few months so far at www.VilePervert.com

Good music well done on TV will pull in the ratings. Bad music badly done won't.

Simple really.
