The BBC

10 Dec 2012

John Humphreys’ interview with George Entwistle on the TODAY programme this morning was car crash radio. Never have I heard such gross incompetence admitted live on air. It was a brave interview by Humphreys that nailed Entwistle to the mast. It was also truly shocking and you could tell from the stress in the voices of Humphreys and Naughtie afterwards that something seismic had happened at the BBC. It’s just been announced that Entwistle has resigned. It was inevitable from the moment the interview ended. Well done the TODAY programme for doing their very difficult job this morning so professionally.
