Text Quotes
I came to Los Angeles and did auditions for television. I made a terrible mess of most of them and I was quite intimidated. I felt very embarrassed and went back to London. I got British television jobs intermittently between the ages of 23 and 27, but it was very patchy  (British Television Quotes) The trouble with the British is that they are not interested in ideas. If Jesus came back today and offered to speak for an hour on British television, they would say, what! Another talking head?  (British Television Quotes) What the British seem to like are television historians and naturalists, not public intellectuals. You can’t help feeling that’s because one supplies narrative and the other supplies facts, and the British are traditionally empiricists so they/we have a resistance to theory and to theoreticians playing too prominent a role in public life  (British Television Quotes) Astonishing times. Who would have imagined that the Crazy Gang would yield a Hollywood film star (Vinny Jones), a British television ever-present (John Fashanu) and now a televised African dance champion?  (British Television Quotes) American television constantly tries to co-op British comedy and create their own version of it. Most of the time it doesn’t work; obviously, in the case of ‘The Office,’ it did. But a lot of times, it doesn’t really work  (British Television Quotes) I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn’t any film to be made.  (British Television Quotes) It’s hard to make a film in Britain.

It curbs a lot of drama.  (British Television Quotes) I don’t watch much British television at all. I mean, it’s ironic because I used to work in it for years.  (British Television Quotes) Television of course actually started in Britain in 1936, and it was a monopoly, and there was only one broadcaster and it operated on a license which is not the same as a government grant.  (British Television Quotes) When I was growing up, I despised Irishness. I felt our music, our television and our books were just poor imitations of what came out of Britain and America. I was all set to abandon it entirely.  (British Television Quotes) The BBC’s television, radio and online services remain an important part of British culture and the fact the BBC continues to thrive amongst audiences at home and abroad is testament to a professional and dedicated management team who are committed to providing a quality public service.  (British Television Quotes) As parents, can we counter the effect of television violence? One worrying feature in Britain is that so many TV sets are in a child’s bedroom; this means that the mediating effect of watching with a parent, the ability to discuss and interpret what has been seen, is lost.  (British Television Quotes) When I first did a U.S. pilot season, there were very few British actors schlepping around town trying to get into television. That was 1999  (British Television Quotes) Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality  (British Television Quotes) I don’t watch much British television at all. I mean, it’s ironic because I used to work in it for years  (British Television Quotes)
