Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 9 February 2012.
Charles Dickens: Bicentenary
- Question
- My Lords, would the Minister agree with me that the film and television industries, which have developed in the past 100 years, would have been pretty stuck for content, had it not been for the works of Charles Dickens? Would she encourage her ministerial colleagues to put some pressure on BAFTA to nominate Charles Dickens for a posthumous fellowship?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am sure that that is a good idea, but I have a feeling that BAFTA is probably an independent body. We will put that forward, and hope that BAFTA reads the noble Baroness’s suggestion in Hansard.
