Lords Birt and Macdonald; Sir Denis Forman; Michael Parkinson; Michael Apted; Stan Barstow; Nick Elliot; Victoria Wood; Kenith Trodd; Jack Rosenthal; Anna Ford; Chris Kelly; and Alan Plater are just a few of the many well-known contributors who were responsible for creating the foundations on which Granada's considerable worldwide reputation was based.
