Hot off the press: Sir Michael Lyons, the new chairman of the BBC, has “pledged quality” at his inaugural news conference. Well that’s a relief. You never know how these things are going to go. It's always a worry that these new BBC appointees will go a bit funny and pledge to “take the channel down the shitter through the 24-hour broadcasting of footage of me and my loved ones sitting at home in our underwear and replacing the idents of the little fellas playing basketball in wheelchairs between Eastenders and Holby City with highlights packages from the Darfuri genocide.” Big respect to Mr Lyons for not falling into that age-old pledge trap. And kudos to the BBC for the scoop. A weight off my mind.
