Debate: How would Channel 4 privatisation affect British independent TV production?

We’re joined by Kay Mellor – the screenwriter known for ‘Fat Friends’, ‘In the Club’ and ‘The Syndicate’. She founded the Leeds based independent production company, Rollem Productions in 2000.

We also speak to David Elstein – a former independent producer of programmes for Channel 4 and Chief Executive of Channel 5.

krishgm Rubbish

krishgm He would say that wouldn't he. I for one will never switch over to C4 period if taken over by right wing government

krishgm Says the ex-chief exec of arguably the worst channels available to uk viewers.. he hasn’t a clue. She should have been given much more airtime, he hogged it to simply repeat himself over and over and also insult your intelligence Krish, or research abilities, at least..

krishgm Elstein comes across as so arrogant and out of touch. Just about ALL my favourite programs are on Channel 4. What am I going to watch?

krishgm Like gas, electricity, water, rail and Royal Mail. All those benefits to the shareholders.🤔🤫

krishgm Hmmmm his views aren’t helpful are they - and chief exec of Channel 5 when it was full of awfulness …

krishgm It doesn't need extra resource,it's doing fine as it is ! Only reason for Dorries pursuing privatisation is to silence great independent journalism that holds the Government to account.

ChrisGPackham krishgm using only sheep testicles, I asked these Saharan kids to express their feelings about Nadine Dorries.

krishgm krishgm nice 👌 interview even with David Elstein taking swipes at Channel4,you kept him on an even keel. Didn’t get why c4 Execs invited to C4news refused to join but Kay Mellor was awesome. David’s channel5_tv is hardly shining a light for the future of broadcasting is it?

ChrisGPackham krishgm I don't think Netflix should be an aspiration ... wallowing in debt & haemorrhaging subscribers

krishgm Surely not the same David Elstein who once criticised the Conservative government for behaving with 'spite' towards ITV after they took offence to a documentary he commissioned? What was it that changed his mind, after a long stint working for Murdoch?

krishgm Resource that Channel 5 put into broadcasting utter tripe 24/7.
