that "as a Christian I believe it's God time for it [satanic abuse] to be revealed….. it's a time when, in God's plan, it's going to be revealed." The Daily Telegraph reported what happened next: "More than 100 Christians gathered outside County Hall to demonstrate their support for Mr Andrew Croall ... . Members of the National and Local Government Officers Association, meanwhile, held a protest backing the suspension. His supporters rallied before a meeting of the county social services committee. Mr Croall's remarks ... had outraged members of NALGO, who called for his resignation." Croall was "reinstated in August (1991), subject to restrictions that denied him direct responsibility for child care." He resigned in 1992 and took a full-time job with a born-again Christian organisation. James Harries and "Teachers" The New Statesman described the programme broadcast on 23 March 1991: The Yorkshire RipperToday described the programme broadcast on 6 April 1991: The Daily Star added: Mr Sutcliffe also said his son was "a lovely lad" a description with which Michael Winner very much disagreed. The ICA wrote: "it ended with (Stefan Jaworzyn) vehemently debating the meaning of the word "integrity" with fellow guest Michael Winner". Channel 4 axing In August 1991, Channel 4 announced the end of the series, an action which became the subject of an editorial in The Times, and was described by the Mail On Sunday as "something died when After Dark was quietly killed off in the shadows last week":The Independent newspaper noted: "Grade's programming is confused: he axed the talk show... allegedly to make way for even more innovative programmes, yet replaced it with a series of Seventies repeats. He praised After Dark lavishly in public but, in a letter to Edward Heath, said it 'promised more than it delivered'." The producer wrote later in an article in Lobster magazine: An open letter was published, signed by Professor Sir Ian Kennedy, Buzz Aldrin, Billy Bragg, Beatrix Campbell, Lord Dacre, Gerald Kaufman, Mary Midgley, Richard Perle, Merlyn Rees, Richard Shepherd, Ralph Steadman, Peter Ustinov, Lord Weidenfeld and many others: Angela Lambert wrote later in The Independent: The producers wrote warning that After Dark "loss poses such a threat to broadcasting freedom. It is...the only television programme whose guests were not straitjacketed into a fixed time-slot, subjected to precensorship or editing, or confronted with a celebrity host and a noisy studio audience. That year and on through the 1990s we argued, loudly, that After Dark should be put back on air, it being an effective and necessary corrective to the limitations and excessive controls created by the mass broadcasting of those days." Later programmes Specials From 1993 Channel 4 broadcast a number of After Dark one-off specials. In 1995 the Financial Times wrote: In 1997 a Channel 4 executive was said by The Guardian to be "insistent that 'it's a popular misconception that we killed it off. In fact we never lost it. We haven't done another series, but we did a one-off After Dark recently in our abortion season'. Bizarrely, Channel 4 cited After Dark as a model of the kind of cerebral programme it wanted when inviting (independent production company) submissions in May.... 'I can't think of any ideas that would make better late-night programming than After Dark,' he said, echoing the words of the original commissioning executive of After Dark, Seamus Cassidy, who in an interview to the Irish News in 2005 said, "I'm probably most proud of After Dark."
