	A Knighthood for Michael Grade Petition
		Michael Grade is one of the all time greats in British broadcasting and he is also a successful businessman.
		Michael was responsible for repeating the Australian soap Neighbours at 5.35 pm, an excellent move which paid off at the time because Neighbours in the beginning was brilliant there is no doubt about that but unfortunately it has now had its day.
		Michael wasn't responsible for the downfall of Neighbours, he doesn't write the scripts for the soap or decides what people to have in the show, his job was just to get the programme on at the right time to please the majority of the British Public.
