As Channel 4 faces up to its first summer without Big Brother, David Abraham talks to Steve Hewlett about how Channel 4 intends to reinvent itself. Keir Starmer QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions, says he supports proposals to allow television cameras into some of the UK's courts. But how would it work in practice? Keir Starmer explains why the public may soon be able to watch justice being done on TV.
