- In the early 1990s children's television programme The Sooty Show, the poem that begins with the lines "O England, country of my heart's desire" is wrongly attributed to an E.Y. Lucas, probably due to the 'V' in Lucas' name being mistaken for a 'Y' during the scriptwriting process.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
