		It’s divided into two sections: one section is for entries from national broadcasters linked to the European Broadcasting Union which, subject to conditions, are automatically accepted, the other is for independent entries, from stations or individual producers, which are submitted, sifted and, finally, accepted for what used to be called the producer’s competition.
		There used to be gold, silver and bronze roses in each section, a City of Montreux Prize for the funniest programme in the competition, and a prize awarded by a Press Jury for the overall best programme in the national entries.
		Some many years ago when I was a judge on the International Press Jury at the Golden Rose — on perhaps a dozen occasions over a period of 15 years — there was no category exclusively for sitcoms in which e.tv says it has been accepted.

		Whilst initially, London was to be the siting of this statue, this great honour falls on Montreux and I therefore want to express our gratitude to the initiators of this event, the echo of which we hope will resound throughout the world.

	Royal Television Society - Roses flourish again
		Not being a veteran of Montreux, I perhaps wasn’t best qualified to assess the symbolism of the transfer of the festival, after 43 years, to Lucerne.
		Montreux is a small town, but Lucerne is a city able to cope with the demands of an international television festival.
		So it was that this former Newsnight war producer received the Golden Rose for Best Comedy, for a series featuring plasticine animals, with a slap on the back and a toothy smile from old Count Dracula himself, Christopher Lee.

		Many sane people, and there are a few still working in television, would probably wonder what dire offence they had committed against their employer to deserve such a sentence but, amazingly, there are some passionate entertainment television professionals who actually look forward to this annual task.
		Compared with the last time I chaired a Montreux jury, this team was a model of professional behaviour and a joy to work with.

	MONTY PYTHON
		I agree absolutely with the B B C's choice of Monty Python's Flying Circus (B B C-1) for Montreux — it is difficult to see what other candidate could have been preferred — but I am less certain about the television "composite" specially assembled to compete for the Golden Rose.
		Perhaps, also when they have shown it to the French, the Germans, and the Italians at Montreux they will not want the show to be seen "North of Edgware", to use your critic's words.
		If the BBC's entry for this year's ‘Golden Rose Of Montreux' doesn't win it, we shall know once and for all that a Rose isn't a Rose isn't a Rose and the Common Market's a rotten egg.
