Perhaps Lord Grade, who now supports the privatisation of Channel 4 (Report, 4 April), needs reminding of the promise he gave my father, Lord Attenborough, when he was running the channel and my father was its chairman. Namely that he would die in a ditch before he’d see Channel 4 privatised or its public service commitment in any way diminished.
My father must be turning in his grave. I only wish he was here to face, expose and oppose him.
