Lord David Puttnam on public service broadcasting

Lord David Puttnam is a legend of the British film industry. The films he’s produced have won more awards than you’ve had hot dinners. He’s also a member of the House of Lords and besides his many other outside interests he chaired a review of Public Sector Broadcasting in the UK in 2016. Of course in recent weeks from job cuts mooted at RTE, and the sad passing of a legend of Irish broadcasting Gay Byrne have raised a number of questions about the future of public sector broadcasting here in Ireland. Lord Puttnam lent his expertise to this evening's edition of the Hard Shoulder.
