Article Abstract:
Claudia Rosencrantz, the new ITV controller, believes that a flexible attitude is required with broadcaster suppliers and wants to take advantage of the 1997 television schedules even though the post will be extremely political. Rosencrantz has successfully produced four Dame Edna specials and favours the 'Audience With...' format for television. She wants to enrole popular celebrities such as Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer and Chris Evans.
