I feel that Joyce Grenfell wasn't qualified to sit on the panel; either technically, or as a representative of the viewing public.
I have nothing against her personally; I think she's hilarious, but that isn't exactly what the Pilkington Committee needed.
I should have thought that an articulate and experienced performer would have had something to bring to the discussion - after all, the technology is nothing without the talent. And she was formidably intelligent, to boot...
