The one-eyed hypnotist
Article Abstract:
Many people feel that television has had a negative impact on cultural life in the UK. In fact, Britons are becoming increasingly educated and well-informed, and this is partly attributable to television, which can be seen as a significant cultural resource.

However, there are a number of problems associated with terrestrial television in the UK, including its use of personalities and its focus on adversarial debate as the main way of presenting intellectual comment.
