Yes definitely. Can you imagine some author having written a sure to be bestselling book without touring all the UK and US talk shows?

The British film industry has suffered though. People would rather watch a poor plot with expensive special effects than something decent. Then again the film industry as a whole has gone down the pan.
TV drama has replaced it as the number one story telling medium in my opinion.

Agree with that. Hollywood is in a sad state imo. Reminds me though that one of my favorite movie studios is Hammer. Because of my fondness for Hammer Studios I also am a major fanboy of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Hammer recently started making movies again also. My wife recently watched their latest film, Woman in Black, and said that it was good.
