Lord Longford used to be mocked for having watched things before he condemned them, and Mary Whitehouse for not having done so. We cannot win. But I cannot see how privatisation could make any worse the television network of Naked Attraction, which I have not seen.
Is the privatisation of Channel 4 a dry run for that of the BBC? If so, then not necessarily in the way envisaged. If no one could be found to buy the Channel Four Television Corporation on the conditions set in order to preserve its public service remit, then it would not even be worth bothering to ask whether anyone might be willing to buy the BBC, which would cost many times more while having vastly more requirements and restrictions built in.
This has a certain plausibility.
