Russell T Davies attacks Tory plans to privatise Channel 4 in awards speech
Russell T Davies used his speech at The South Bank Sky Arts awards on Sunday (10 July) to criticise the government's moves to privatise Channel 4.
The writer, whose show It's a Sin was broadcast on the channel and picked up the award for best TV drama, called the Tory party a "wounded dog."
