Irons blasts Thatcher for dumbing down British TV
Indo-Asian News Service
London, Aug 29 (IANS) Oscar winning actor Jeremy Irons has
attacked former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher for
dumbing down TV.
According to contactmusic.com, Irons spoke about his
disappointment after winning an Emmy Award. Irons thinks there
are too many networks operating and feels that
Thatcher planned to take away the cultural and political
importance of TV stars.
He said: "Mrs. Thatcher destroyed our television in England by
bleeding them (networks) of their money and allowing multiple
channels. It was only the other day that it occurred to me that
she did it because of what it did - it takes the power away from
television.
"Because if you have five channels, then what people on
television say has an importance. If you have 79 channels it
doesn't matter so much."
