I think he is sounding a bit pretentious and up his own ass - I know he is working class (and proud of it) but he still comes across as pretentious.
Sure there should be gritty, realistic drama on TV - but who is he to tell people they shouldn't make costume drama and other TV programs - like Doctor Who! - that he considers inconsequential fluff, and who is he to preach to audiences what they should love on TV?
I think the dictatorship of the proletariat isn't any more attractive and desirable than the other kind of dictatorship.
