I was a huge fan of British TV - I'm convinced the best thing Britain did/does over the centuries for the world is produce media."In the Thick of It" is just one example.
As crap journalism is perhaps the greatest threat facing us, this March 28, 2025 interview on Unherd "How the BBC killed Hardtalk" is very much worth watching.
Most interesting was the funding question, running out money for Hardtalk, which regularly had 170 million views weekly worldwide, and instead pouring money in BBC VERIFY - that's right - disinformation police.
