Famous novelist Nick Hornby on the significance of
BBC
“Netflix can help us forget it, but it can’t explain,
inform, illuminate. In the US, people have literally been made ill by the
mendacity and wilful stupidity of a popular TV news channel of the type that
the government seems to want to see in the UK; our national broadcaster,
meanwhile, has tried to inform and educate us while entertaining us, as its
remit has always been”.
