“Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.”
—Rupert Murdoch (b. 1931)
“My dear dear Mother,
If you don’t let me come home I die—I am all over ink,
and my fine clothes have been spoilt—I have been tost in a blanket, and seen a ghost.
I remain, my dear dear Mother,
Your dutiful and most unhappy son,
Freddy.
P.S. Remember me to my Father.”
—Frederick Reynolds (18th century)
