LAUNCH OF BBC WORLD SERVICE TELEVISION
1. WE HAVE HAD A VERY FAVOURABLE REPORT OF THIS EVENT FROM LORD N GORDON LENNOX. IT SEEMS THAT IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AND WENT DOWN EXTREMELY WELL IN HONG KONG. SIR DAVID FORD APPARENTLY SPOKE HIGHLY OF HUTCHVISION AND THOUGHT THE BBC HAD DONE WELL TO TEAM UP WITH THEM IN THIS WAY. HE OFFERED TO HELP IN ANY WAY HE COULD WHOEVER CAME OUT FROM THE BBC TO REPLACE SIMON PHELPS.
2. WE WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW YOU WOULD JUDGE THE GENERAL PROSPECTS FOR THIS VENTURE, AND THE IMPACT OF THE LAUNCH IN HONG KONG. WE ARE, OF COURSE, KEEN TO SEE IT SUCCEED AND REMAIN READY TO SUPPORT THE BBC IN ANY WAY WE CAN TO HELP PROMOTE IT.
