I watched today a recent re-run of Parkinson Shows concentrating on multiple appearances from key celebrities from the 1970s.  The focus was Kenneth Williams.

It struck me that you would never have a prime time show today where the focus of discussion was on architecture, unions and poetry.  The tastes of the audience have changed.  I then wondered what the commercial value of this old programme was.  Presumably this would be fairly low.

Surely, this is an argument for why this type of old content be provided free in the same way that other historical documents are also free.

For those that are interested, the first part is below:
