If I was BBC DG, I would:
- Close down UK Gold
- Restore the separation of BBC News 24 and BBC World
- And BBC News 24 and BBC World to also screen documentaries, features apart from news
- BBC3 and BBC4 to become fully-fledged channels (BBC World to be relayed on BBC4's downtime)

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

It is revealed that:
"The BBC is to replace the ailing Wogan chat show with a three-times a week soap opera, 'Little England', set in Spain, starting next September."
'Little England', of course, became #Eldorado and launched in July 1992.
