Michael Grade (in-universe): Difference between revisions
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
(Surely Wikipediainfo is unnecessary seeing as the Wiki has an out of universe page for Grade? I've brought this up already on Template talk:Wikipediainfo (but nobody has replied)) Tag: 2017 source edit |
(Common misconception, Grade had left the BBC by 1989. Jonathan Powell was the one responsible for cancellation, though Grade certainly got the ball rolling towards it.) Tag: 2017 source edit |
