'Andrew Shaw in the Dock'
Prime.tv session - the A - Z of Q & A - everything you ever wanted to ask about television.
Prime TV's Progamming Manager, Andrew Shaw, is accused of committing more than 30 years of television. He has pleaded guilty and for his sins is prepared to run the gauntlet of questions - anything you can throw at him that he might be able to answer. Questions can be about Prime, or about television in general. How to start, where to go, who to talk to, how not to do it. The only thing he won't anwer is anything that strays into other people's business or pockets.
And, as extraordinary punishment, if he doesn't know the answer immediately, he will try to find out by the end of conference.
