BCU awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2005.

Instead the story illustrates the belief, among some within the broadcasting industry, that nothing should be off the table when it comes to contemplating how to ensure the survival of British-originated and British-focused TV as we know it.Many of the people I spoke to for this piece didn't want to be quoted. But Sir Peter Bazalgette, the former Chairman of ITV, told me that what he termed the current "generous spread" of British broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5) will need some consolidation or, at the very least, more cooperation in future.

"We're in danger of having no public service broadcasting within a decade, certainly within 20 years," he says. "We don't have a strategy for their survival. It's that serious. The regulators need to start thinking about it."Mergers may well be part of the answer. There should be fewer companies in the future."Lord Vaizey, who was Culture Minister under David Cameron, put it baldly. "ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 should merge.

"The UK only has room for two domestic broadcasters."Others, however, argue that distinctiveness is good for viewers. Channel 5 President Sarah Rose told me she "couldn't disagree with Ed Vaizey more" – calling it a "Doomsday prophecy".

Channel 5 is profitable, she tells me; it invests in smaller production companies and offers plurality for British audiences. By having just one commercial channel, "You're taking the funnel from three to one types of content for British audiences."

Channel 4 also rejects the suggestion of any merger. Its outgoing CEO Alex Mahon argues that, "The unique structure of competition between our publicly funded and commercially funded broadcasters" is what makes UK public service TV "so excellent".The Belgian also has four double-digit returns this season and you are looking for that kind of explosiveness for a one-week punt.

The Brazilian has been unlucky this season - 66 shots in the box, 22 big chances, just 10 goals.His expected goals (xG) is 12.18. By contrast, Chris Wood has 12.61 xG and 20 goals!

What I'm saying here is that Evanilson could have ended a decent season with even more points if he'd put away a few more of those big chances - such as when he hit the post at Manchester City on Tuesday.He has a juicy match-up against a poor defence on the final day and could easily get double digits.
