	Books \| Thinking outside the box
		Isaacs, producer of The World at War, the best history series ever made, and first chief executive of Channel 4, the most radical creative act in television's history, has his place assured in British TV's hall of fame, but his value lies in his never exactly having had a career.
		Isaacs did his national service in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, where the parade ground had a mirror embedded in the tarmac so that officers could be checked to ensure they wore nothing under their kilts.
		Isaacs was enthused, only to find out that, behind his back, the BBC had made others the same offer, and then decided it did not have the money.

	CNN - Cold War: Chat with Sir Jeremy Isaacs
		Sir Jeremy Isaacs: In August 1994 Ted Turner had the idea of doing the COLD WAR, he asked me because he was a fan of the World at War that I produced in the 1970s which is still playing in the US.
		Sir Jeremy Isaacs: I think it is not impossible that there could be a return to communism in Russia, but I do not believe that that would lead to the major power block confrontation that we saw in the Cold War.
		Sir Jeremy Isaacs: In the world today, the big problem is not the confrontation of another major power - though if it were, that power might be China - but the instability caused by lesser powers brandishing their weapons and threatening neighbors.

		Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the founding chief executive of Channel 4, may not be up with all the latest technological gadgets, but unlike many much younger media professionals he's entirely up to speed with the usefulness of the Freedom of Information Act.
		Isaacs is concerned there is still a danger that "difficult subject matter such as the arts" will be shunted off to minority digital channels, an issue he sees as every bit as big a problem for the BBC.
		Isaacs believes the main problem with modern-day consumer-based television is that all the programmes about what we cook, eat, wear, drive and where we go on holiday crowd out other things.

		And Isaacs and his wife, the arts journalist Gillian Widdicombe, are so upset that they have dismissed the idea of purchasing the Hogarth-style portrait, full of men with facial afflictions, stubby fingers and an even stubbier cigar.
		Isaacs, who was seen in the BBC fly-on-the-wall documentary series The House, as, said the critics, "bull-headed and argumentative", is being, in public at least, diplomatic about the painting.
		Isaacs, who in the past 18 months has grown his hair long, is openly concerned that people think he looks like Winner in the flesh.

	screenonline: Isaacs, Jeremy (1932-) Biography
		When Channel 4 came along in 1981, Isaacs was not, initially, considered a front-runner for the post of Director General, despite his impressive track record.
		Isaacs' Channel 4 legacy is manifold, with programmes catering for individuals rather than the family audience, giving a higher priority to younger viewers and the arts, and, by filming a lot of fiction, making a positive contribution to the British film industry.
		Jeremy Isaacs was awarded the Desmond Davis Award for Outstanding Creative Contribution to Television (1971), the George Polk Memorial Award (Television Documentary) (1973), a BAFTA Fellowship (1984), a BFI Fellowship (1986), and an International Emmy Award (Directorate Award) (1987).

	Jeremy Isaacs CV at PFD
		Sir Jeremy Isaacs has spent more than 45 years in television, and has witnessed, and in some cases instigated, the major changes which made it the cultural force that it is today.
		When a censorship issue provoked him to leave and go freelance, he continued to make ground-breaking programmes, and when in 1979 Channel 4 began the search for their first chief executive, Isaacs was the ideal candidate.
		He engineered a deliberately ecletic mix of programmes and put television into the hands of small, entrpreneurial film-makers; short-lived as after Isaac's departure in 1986, the channel became dependent on revenue from its advertisers.
