Dame Liz Forgan: I think that if you talk to the owners of historic houses they will tell you that in the past support that was available to them from, say, English Heritage was much greater and it is no longer what it used to be because English Heritage's funding has declined.

Forgan identifies this as "the hottest, most passionately controversial topic" in Farringdon Road.
Forgan, 59, a product of Benenden now living in Primrose Hill, says she is not bothered by her own reputation as something of an overweening head girl - elaborated in some conservative newspapers during her days running the BBC's radio networks and before that as Channel 4's director of programmes.
