Grange Hill and Hollyoaks creator Sir Phil Redmond has said that modern broadcasting lacks courage, and suggested that TV watchdog rules should be broken more often. The man behind the iconic soaps said gritty programming was important, and that there was a vacuum of such for today’s youth. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Sir Phil suggested social media was a major issue that needed frank exploring through television dramas. “I think the problem is, is that the courage has gone out of broadcasting really, and there’s just too much risk aversion,” Sir Phil told the show’s guest editor Sir Sajid Javid on Friday.
