ѿý 'doesn’t have one foot in grave just yet'

Actor Richard Wilson warns ѿý "should stick to what it’s good at rather than trying to become the new ITV".

The actor put the case defending the broadcaster, on the day John Whittingdale announced a White Paper looking at the future of the licence fee and abolishing the ѿý Trust.

He said: "Any culture secretary forced to admit he had no wish to “hobble the ѿý” is not to be trusted, and I for one am prepared to march on the streets to defend it from his meddling."
