Sir Patrick Moore is a British astronomer who has presented the Sky at Night since 1957, and is thus now the world’s longest serving TV presenter. His views on women and their role in television appear to be from 1557 though.As far as he is concerned female newsreaders are "jokey". He has called for separate channels to cater for the needs of the different sexes (obviously he has never seen Bravo, Men and Motors, TV X, the Adult channel or any of the other channels that cater for the discerning gentleman at leisure...)
The presenter said: "The trouble is the BBC now is run by women and it shows soap operas, cooking, quizzes, and kitchen-sink plays. You wouldn't have had that in the golden days." "I would like to see two independent wavelengths - one controlled by women, and one for us, controlled by men."
He added "I used to watch Doctor Who and Star Trek, but they went PC - making women commanders, that kind of thing. I stopped watching."
Patrick Moore vigorously opposed the abolition of petty treason when a young man back in the 1740s....
