Proceeding contribution from Tom Greatrex (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 October 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scottish Separation (BBC).
Scottish Separation (BBC)
I have been with my hon. Friend all the way through his speech until he mentioned “Strictly Come Dancing”. I know that I hold a minority view, but he would be in danger of convincing me of the opposite case if they were to get rid of “Strictly Come Dancing”. Seriously, “The Culture Show” is a good example of a BBC programme that is made in Scotland for the whole UK. In the past couple of years, it has been noticeable how it better reflects the whole UK. Is not the real future of the BBC to be much more British, rather than London-centric?
