16:24Now PlayingBBC Two has been on air for over 8-and-a-half years, but has it been a success? Members of the public have their say.
In the final edition of Late Night Line-Up, David Attenborough - the controller of BBC Two for seven years, and arguably the person most responsible for its current direction - mounts a rigorous defence of the channel in the face of some piercing questions from Tony Bilbow, Sheridan Morley and Michael Dean.
Attenborough has announced that he is stepping down from his role as BBC director of television programming, to return to programme making.
Originally broadcast 14 December, 1972.
