The Ten Commandments [of Sir Lew Grade]

Sir Lew GradeI am loving this article from the Off The Telly website, that details some fictional [?] rules that ATV media mogul Lew Grade lived by

Here’s a snippet from Wikipedia that sums him up nicely:

Lew Grade is best known by viewing audiences as the man responsible for a number of cult British TV series through his ITC Entertainment production company. These shows included The Saint, The Persuaders, and two of the most famous works of Patrick McGoohan: Danger Man (also known as Secret Agent in the US) and The Prisoner. In 1962 he purchased independent production house AP Films, co-founded by Gerry Anderson, which produced a string of popular children’s marionette adventure series including Supercar, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90, three feature films, and the live-action sci-fi series UFO and Space: 1999…. Grade was instrumental in bringing The Muppet Show to the screen and was immortalized by Jim Henson, who based the character of movie mogul Lew Lord (played by Orson Welles) in The Muppet Movie, after Grade.

Anyway, have a look at The Commandments, and if you know me, just giggle along if you do the name substitution in your head
