\nDo you know what the problem with television is? There’s too much of
\nit. There are no limits. Too many possibilities. So what happens?
\nAll the resources already dedicated to quantity, few – or at least not
\nenough – are dedicated to quality. This is not to eulogise a heyday of
\nfour – three – or even two national channels when the competition

\nThe best music obeys the strictest of accepted forms: concerto, symphony, song, 12bar….. even jingle.
\nAll the very best in literature – the art of the written word – is in carefully crafted poetic form: the haiku, the sonnet.<\/p>\n
\nsome of the greatest works of history: the shamanic dance; the
\ntransubstantiation mass; jacobean tragedy. That its launch onto the
\ncelluloid stage has struggled at times with form, born as it has been in

\nliberating parameters are born, the advert is the haiku of film; at its
\nvery best mimicking the style but with something different to sell…..<\/p>\n
