  • Channel 4 Review of 2005
    Channel 4 Review of 2005 1. Major themes in 2005 Channel 4 has had a remarkable year in 2005. It is the only network channel to have grown its audience. As promised in our 2005 Statement of Programme Policy, we launched a new free to air public service channel, More4. We took E4 free to air, helping make it the strongest digital channel for 16-34 year olds. We increased the range and scope of new media projects, and achieved our highest ever traffic to Channel 4 sites. We fulfilled our ambition to be the most innovative and distinctive broadcaster in the UK, provided effective competition to the BBC, and engaged and challenged our audiences. Channel 4 reinforced its public service commitments and held true to its remit to be innovative, educative and diverse. Programmes such as Jamie’s School Dinners proved that television could still make a difference. Unlike other channels, Channel 4 consistently encouraged new talent, new companies and distinctive voices; this authorship and originality was rewarded with one of its most successful years ever, leading to 10 BAFTA television awards (out of a total of 21). Our continuing commercial success enabled us to increase Channel 4’s 2005 programme budget to £490 million, its highest-ever level and £5 million more than we promised in our Statement of Programme Policy a year ago. We met all our licence commitments, worked with more than three hundred independent producers, and as promised in our Statement maintained our dedication to new talent with an investment of £2.6 million to support new talent and new companies.

The 400m athlete, who joined her own unsung hero to launch the award at Scotstoun Leisure Centre in Glasgow, knows how important these contributions are. She credits her own unsung hero Alan Scobie with making her the success she is today. Lee said: “Alan’s been a big part of my career. He started coaching me at 14 when I was thinking about dropping out of my career altogether. Alan is still very involved in my career and is my soundboard and, even on a personal side, he’s the person who helps me if I’ve got any issues, because if you’re a happy person I think your athletics works better and if any situations arise, he’s the one I tend to go to.

  • Humanities: the Unexpected Success Story of the Twenty-first Century
    London Review of Education Vol. 10, No. 3, November 2012, 307–315 Humanities: the unexpected success story of the twenty-first century Virginia Davis* School of History, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK (Received 9 July 2012; final version received 7 September 2012) Humanities within universities faced challenges in the latter half of the twentieth century as their value in the modern world was questioned. This paper argues that there is strong potential for the humanities to thrive in the twenty-first century university sector. It outlines some of the managerial implications necessary to ensure that this potential is delivered. Study of humanities provides an education offering skills to tackle the problems facing the twenty-first century world. The importance of clear communication of the value of the humanities to different constituencies, especially policy makers, institutional governing bodies and prospective students is emphasised. Keywords: humanities; universities; student choice The title of this paper may be seen as over-optimistic in the current world of British higher education in which the dominant theme is uncertainty about the future. The recent changes emphasising the role of the market economy within the world of higher education have led to extensive discussions, lectures, conferences and debates on the idea of what a university is and its role in contemporary society, both in Britain and elsewhere in Europe and the US (Anderson 2010; Collini 2012; Delbanco 2011; Donoghue 2010; Fludernik 2005; Harpman 2005; Hoston
