Author Biography:

PAUL BONNER worked in broadcasting for 40 years. He was at ITV for seven years - first as Director of the Programming Secretariat (Chairman of the Network Controllers Group) from 1987-1992, and then as a director at the new ITV Network Centre from 1993 until he retired two years later. Previously, he had been selected to be Channel Four's first Controller of Programmes. He held that post for the first seven years of the Channel's existence. Before that he had worked for the BBC in radio and television for 25 years. He spent ten of those years as a documentary maker. That was followed by a period in charge of the BBC's controversial public-access programmes. Paul Bonner's final role at the BBC was as head of its Science and Features Department. - LESLEY ASTON was Press Officer at the IBA/ITC from 1983-1994, with a special interest in research.
