Who Done It? PD James Did Today.
Did you hear the author Phyllis James - a most delightful woman to meet incidentally - interview (rip into) BBC DG Mark Thompson on the Today prog just now? She said the BBC, which is nearly as old as her (90), is unwieldy, bureaucratic, ageist, overbloated and had lost its way. As an ex-BBC Governor, Lady James had the info to hand to prove her case. He didn’t stand a chance!
I wonder if, when the BBC invited this ’sweet little old lady’ to be a guest editor on Today, they had any idea what an intellect more lethal than a gin-trap actually means. Well they know now!
