Enter Jeremy

That Jeremy Isaacs is going to edit Panorama is excellent news. He has one of the quickest and best minds in television. But old anchor-man Dimbleby is going to stay, and naturally specula- tion about irresistible forces and immovable objects is heard in the corridors. My guess is that the immovable object will move. Not yet perhaps, but fairly. soon. For Panorama is a programme of yesteryear. Its papal solemnity grows more and more out of touch. When it succeeds (and often it does) in producing a programme of real interest it is usually when it abandons its traditional garb. Jeremy Isaacs, I suspect, knows this very weH. And once he is settled into his chair I suspect also he will change things. And people.
