Who's changed his mind?

BBC Chairman celebrates success of Who.

Sir Michael Grade came face to face with the TARDIS, currently in BBC Wales reception, as he gave a speech to the Institute of Welsh Affairs in Cardiff today.

"It has been a memorable year in terms of the BBC showcasing strong Welsh productions for the whole UK audience to enjoy," noted Sir Michael during his speech. "Casanova, Tribe, A Year at Kew - and, of course, my favourite, Doctor Who.

"We will not dwell on the fact that I - in an earlier incarnation - took Doctor Who off the air. You live. You learn... especially in Wales, you learn."
