Courage has gone out of broadcasting, says Grange Hill creator

Grange Hill and Hollyoaks creator Sir Phil Redmond has said that modern broadcasting lacks courage, and suggested that TV watchdog rules should be broken more often. The man behind the iconic soaps said gritty programming was important,
The article discusses Phil Redmond, the creator of the iconic British children's drama "Grange Hill," who has expressed concerns about the current state of broadcasting. Redmond, now 75, reflects on how the television industry has changed since he started, noting a significant decline in the courage to take creative risks. He criticizes the modern broadcasting landscape for being overly cautious, focusing on safe, formulaic content rather than innovative or challenging programming. Redmond points out that this shift is largely due to the influence of algorithms and data-driven decisions which prioritize viewer retention over creative integrity. He also mentions the impact of streaming services, which, while offering more content, often lack the depth and risk-taking that characterized earlier TV productions. Redmond's comments come in the context of a new book release, "Grange Hill: The Inside Story," where he further elaborates on his career and the evolution of television.
