Chapter 1: The Eggs Crack
Camden Lock 19th October 1984
"Hello"
"Hello is that Bruce Gyngell"
"Yes"
"Lord Thomson wishes to speak to you
Pause
"Good Morning Bruce"
"And a very good morning to you Lord Thomson. How can I help you today"
"I'll come straight to the point Bruce. We had an emergency meeting last night regarding the coverage that TV-AM had over the attack in Brighton"
"And as I said to you last week if you will give me until February 1985 I will have the matter sorted"
"I'm afraid that is out of the question"
"I beg your pardon"
"Our feeling is that TV-AM is too weak and ill structured to carry on. We both know that the station has been a laughing stock and has made blunder after blunder. Brighton was the last straw. We simply cannot have a breakfast franchise in such a state as TV-AM. We have therefore decided to revoke TV-AM's licence to broadcast as of now."
Editor's note: I'm restarting this as I feel the previous version of a AH/Youtube crossover wouldn't have worked.
