Sir Charles was a strong supporter of the BBC and the role it Voice of the Listener & Viewer plays in British cultural life, especially through its patronage of live music and the Proms where he had been due to conduct Working for Quality and Diversity in British Broadcasting two concerts this season. He first became involved with VLV VLV President when he spoke at a VLV summer conference in 2004 on the Mrs Jocelyn Hay CBE future for music and the arts. Soon after he graciously agreed to become a Patron of VLV and he remained a strong and VLV Patrons generous supporter.

Irwin Monitor (BBC, 1958–65), a series which showcased the arts and their creators and was presented by Huw Wheldon, is now remembered as the flagship of late 1950s and early 1960s arts documentary television broadcasting. In Arts TV: A History of Arts Television in Britain, John Walker describes Monitor as ‘a crucially important early series’ (1993: 45), arguing that ‘no one could deny its ground-breaking achievements’ (ibid.: 49). John Wyver, in Vision On: Film, Television and the Arts in Britain, called Monitor ‘among the BBC’s most celebrated contributions to “good broadcasting’’ ’ (2007: 27).1 In the edited collection Experimental British Te l e v i s i o n , Jamie Sexton refers to Monitor as the ‘BBC’s critically acclaimed arts series’ (Mulvey and Sexton 2007: 90), while Kay Dickinson, in the same collection, refers to it as a ‘well respected fortnightly Sunday arts magazine programme’, pointing out that this was where Ken Russell first made his name (ibid.: 70).
