| | Force majeure |
 | | After two false starts (BBC Knowledge and BBC Choice), the first ‘proper’ mixed television channel from the BBC since 1964’s BBC-2 is finally here, having launched on the day of writing this article, 2 March 2002, at 7pm. |
 | | Secondly, the BBC must not, under any circumstances, use the existence of a highbrow news service on Four to undermine or dumb down the 10pm bulletin on BBC-1. |
 | | In the end, the BBC cannot prevent the ultimate privatisation of its functions by the next Tory government, whenever that may be. |
