Pride and prejudice
Article Abstract:
Viewers in the South-east of England tend to watch more BBC television programs and less ITV programs when compared to rest of the country. Light entertainment programs such as Beadles about are preferred less than programs with an intellectual bias such as Have I Got News For You. Viewing figures for Carlton and Meridian regions are much lower than in other areas although drama programs are watched if they are focused in the South. Viewers in the South-East watch more of the soap Eastenders than the national norm.

Trick performer

Top television producer Colman Hutchinson has left London Weekend Television (LWT) to join independent Hat Trick Productions. Hutchinson worked on the two popular Saturday night series Blind Date and Surprise Surprise whilst he was with LWT, but says that the company did not allow him room to develop new ideas. Hat Trick Productions hopes that Hutchison's arrival will help it to move into mainstream entertainment.
