Huge news in Elis and John towers today, for Producer Dave bumped into the man, the myth, the Solero supper himself, Mr Tim Davie. Could he use this opportunity to pitch a brand new true crime podcast about dupes from Stockport who get sold fake shoes?

Richard Ayre is the chair of the UK's independent press regulator, Impress. Before that, he spent about thirty-five years at the BBC as a former controller of editorial policy and deputy chief executive of BBC News, before becoming a member of the BBC Trust. Richard is also a former member of the OFCOM content board. In this week's episode, we discuss BBC's DG Tim Davie and Chair Samir Shah's appearance in front of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport's select committee: the fallout from the Gaza documentary which was pulled after it was discovered the 13-year-old narrator had a family connection to Hamas, future funding models, the World Service, and the possibility of a generational charter.“There was a meeting between BBC executives and executives of the production company—a face-to-face meeting—to comply this film before it went out, and the BBC didn't press for an answer or didn't get an answer to the question about the connection of the kid's. That's very worrying, and that, I imagine, is where the BBC's inquiry is now going to unearth some bodies—or people likely to be bodies.” Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatch To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month (NB we only charge for one creation per month): www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership Or if you'd rather make a one-off payment (which doesn't entitle you to the blog) please use our crowdfunding page:https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/roger-boltons-beeb-watch-podcast @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.comwww.goodeggproductions.uk Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Then to the visit from Tim Davie, Director General of the BBC to our London office the Grimaldi Building on Wednesday 8 January 2025 with Matt talking about how the visit had gone which also included a tour of the Grimaldi Building, a meeting with Matt and other senior RNIB staff along with Matt mentioning a project that the BBC and the RNIB are working together on which we will all hear more about in the summer.

This is sierras of the papas broadcasting, and news just in: we're all out of papas!John's losing his voice because of doing an extraordinary impression of an Australian in a mystical Bureau de Change for some BBC Sounds bonus content, but we plough on! And in a way, this is the definition of ‘talent', which we discover that Tim Davie is keen to define.Elsewhere, there's a classic Made Up Game, Elis (Patient Father and Nice Friend) James does some keepy uppies and Dave engages in a stag where he's actually early for Match of The Day.The Bureau has been mentioned here already, but if you're missing out, then you're missing out on bonus content described by listener Kate as “Perhaps the funniest but most bizarre 15 minutes of radio I've listened to in 57 years.” And where can you get it?

Jekyll and Hyde isn't a work of fiction. Nor is James McAvoy in hit film Split. No. If you were to venture down the B and C roads of mainland Wales the past few weeks you'll have seen something far more surprising: Welsh Elis and English Elis. For there's an astonishing revelation of the West Walian comic once thought of as polite and mild-mannered. James' alternative persona is coming to a Welsh theatre near you and be prepared for an attitude that will shock. As well as the mental there's also time for analysis of the physical side of the game, as the boys dig into the sudden born to bench trend of the UK funny man. There's also a national infrastructure halting Shame, and there's an inspirational Made Up Game sure to generate merch revenues that could pay for Tim Davie's Calippo bill for at least the next financial quarter. All this despite an initial lack of confidence in the gameplay. Because it wouldn't be Elis and John if they didn't trash a game before passing it with flying colours. Trust. The. Process.If you aren't already listening to the show on the universe leading BBC Sounds app then you better swear on Adrian's life that you'll sort that very this instant.

The circumstances surrounding the securing of the Panorama interview with the late Princess of Wales have been one of the biggest controversies to beset the BBC. On this week's programme we're taking stock on the imminent release of emails by the BBC which concerns its handling of the Martin Bashir scandal. There has been quite a battle in the courts as the Corporation attempts to withhold and redact some of the emails requested under the Freedom of Information act by that very determined journalist and film maker Andy Webb. We talk to him about his fight, what he thinks he might learn from the emails and despite an apology from the director general Tim Davie to Lord Spencer why he thinks this matter is still worth pursuing. “I'm interested in what I alleged to be a cover up which was instituted in 2020. But more to the point, it is, if indeed, this cover up exists, it's a cover up that is being fostered very, very expensively at the public expense, in as much as the licence fee is public money, it is happening now.

This week on The Rest Is...PR, Jacki and Lyle discuss a news story which has dominated the public consciousness and generated no end of hostile speculation and rumour. Namely - the BBC Presenter Scandal, and the revelation that the individual at the heart of the story is renowned BBC News presenter Huw Edwards. The episode begins with Jacki describing a terrifying experience she went through recently, where her dog Ludo came to her aid to chase an intruder out of her house! In one of the more curious segues in The Rest Is...PR history, our hosts move from one immoral and questionable act to another, admittedly less criminal one, in the form of the Huw Edwards scandal. Jacki and Lyle outline the allegations facing Edwards, before comparing the BBC's response to that of ITV when faced with the crisis surrounding Phillip Schofield. Jacki discusses Tim Davie's performance in front of the media, and how impressively he fronted up to the crisis, before Lyle analyses the impact this situation might have, or indeed SHOULD have, on how these stories are reported in the future. Jacki and Lyle conclude with the important notion that we should always consider the unseen human impact of vilifying certain individuals, regardless of what they have done and their relative reputations, with references to another TV personality in the spotlight currently - Dan Wootton.

A young person has told BBC News they felt threatened by the presenter at the centre of a row over payment for sexually explicit photos. We go through the new details, and speak to Radio 4 presenter Sarah Montague, after she interviewed the man in charge of the BBC, director general Tim Davie. And Craig Oliver, former senior editor at BBC News, gives his verdict on how the corporation is covering itself. Also, in Ireland people are going to the pub to watch the news. Political correspondent Gavan Reilly from Virgin Media News tells us why. You can join our Newscast online community here: https://tinyurl.com/newscastcommunityhere We have made a small amendment to this podcast since we published it.

It was made by Chris Flynn with Alex Collins and Gemma Roper. The senior news editors are Jonathan Aspinwall and Sam Bonham.
The unnamed BBC presenter at the centre of claims involving sexually explicit photos is now facing allegations from a second young person – that he sent them threatening messages after contact on a dating app. Earlier, the BBC's director-general Tim Davie faced questions from journalists, as the corporation's Annual Report was delivered days after The Sun first broke their original story. On the Sky News Daily, Kimberley Leonard explores the latest developments with our reporter Sadiya Chowdhury, Sky's home editor Jason Farrell and Jake Kanter - Deadline's investigations editor and former media editor at The Times.

This week, Jacki and Lyle discuss a topic that gripped the nation earlier this month. That's right - The Rest Is PR has its say on Gary Lineker vs. the BBC. In a compelling episode, Jacki discusses what her strategy might have been had she been the one advising the BBC, and also throws her hat in the ring to do just that should the same situation arise again! Lyle outlines his views on the subject, and whether this is a line in the sand when it comes to the use of social media by employees of any organisation, and Jacki talks through the importance of organisations of all sizes having a clear plan and precise messaging in order to ensure all of their employees pull in the same direction.

Am kommenden Samstag wird Star-Moderator Gary Lineker wieder im Fernsehen zu sehen sein. Aufgrund seiner Kritik an der britischen Asylpolitik hatte ihn die BBC vorübergehend suspendiert. Doch die Wogen gehen weiter hoch: Stehen sich BBC und Politik zu nahe?
The unedifying scurry by BBC management to get Gary Lineker back on air after suspending him, diffuses both a row with its staff and kicks the can of impartiality into the long grass. A couple of tweets by the BBC's lead football presenter brought down the entire coverage of the Corporation's TV and radio sport for a weekend. Lineker compared the government's language on immigration as "not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 1930s”. He was suspended by the BBC's Director General, Tim Davie on the grounds of breaking their social media guidelines. In this special episode, we mop up the layers of unresolved issues that have fallen by the wayside in the rush to appease Gary and chums to get BBC Sport back onair. Listen now for exclusive quotes from Panorama documentary maker John Ware, Theresa May's former Chief of Staff, Nick Timothy, prominent journalists Nicole Lampert and Jonathan Sacerdoti, author of The Greatest Comeback, David Bolchover, Alex Hearn, Director of Labour Against Antisemitism and CEO of UK Lawyers of Israel, Jonathan Turner. Jonny Gould's Jewish State is supported by Dangoor Education.

Hear from Carys Taylor, Director of BAFTA's albert programme, as we explore the issues of climate change and sustainability through the lens of film and television. The film and television sector may not have the biggest carbon footprint, but it still has an important role to play in the transition to net-zero. With 70% of the global population owning a TV, the film and television industry can have a significant influence on public debate. Moreover, changing demographics and technology are pushing the industry to consider the viewing habits and preferences of a younger, more climate-conscious generation. That's why in today's episode, we'll take a closer look at the challenges and opportunities facing this sector, including: The decarbonization of the $200bn per year content production industry, How it is adapting to changes in the way we watch and consume content, And the challenge of using its influence responsibly.

On Thursday the first three of six Netflix documentaries about Harry and Meghan were released and BBC News led with the story. Did BBC News fall for the PR and were its correspondents impartial in their coverage? And in the same week the BBC hierarchy began a coordinated campaign to secure its future. The Chairman, the former hedge fund boss and Conservative donor, Richard Sharp gave his first interview as chairman to the Sunday Times, and a few days later his Director General,Tim Davie, made his pitch to the Royal Television Society. Roger Mosey is now Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, but while at the BBC he was Head of television News, Editor of the Today programme and Director of the Beijing 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games coverage. We discuss Royal coverage, sports rights, BBC funding and the future of public service broadcasting. "I think Richard Sharp is saying some interesting and good things. But I worry about the fact he is a major Tory donor. Chairmen of the BBC, have always come from a political background, so it's nothing new in that. But I think it does compromise their ability to articulate a genuine public service case for the BBC."Support the podcast by subscribing here on Patreon. @BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukroger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

BBC Director General Tim Davie talks to Justin Webb about how the BBC needs to change its culture in the wake of the inquiry into Panorama's Princess Diana interview. He explains why he did not sack journalist Martin Bashir, who is working out three months notice, and says the investigation into why Mr Bashir was rehired in 2016 by the BBC will report next week.

British broadcaster BBC, seen as a respected source of news and information around the world, is facing questions at home about its integrity following a scathing report on its explosive 1995 interview with Princess Diana.Britain's justice secretary said Friday that the government would review the rules governing oversight of the BBC after an investigation found that one of its journalists used "deceitful behaviour" to secure the interview and the corporation obscured this misconduct for 25 years.Princes William and Harry, Diana's sons, excoriated the BBC late Thursday, saying there was a direct link between the interview and their mother's death in a traffic accident two years later as she and a companion were being pursued by paparazzi.The interview on the Panorama program came under renewed scrutiny after Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, complained that journalist Martin Bashir used false documents and other dishonest tactics to persuade Diana to grant the interview. As a result, the BBC commissioned an investigation by retired Judge John Dyson, who released a 127-page report on his findings Thursday."It wasn't just the decision of a reporter or a production team, there were decisions made much further up the chain about the conduct of these individuals that have now proved, according to Lord Dyson, to be unfounded and wrong,'' Justice Secretary Robert Buckland told the BBC. "And therefore, government does have a responsibility to look very carefully to see whether the governance of the BBC does need reform in the light of these devastating findings."The BBC, founded in 1922, is Britain's publicly funded but editorially independent national broadcaster. The rules governing its operations are set out in a royal charter that requires the corporation to be impartial, act in the public interest and be open, transparent and accountable. A mid-term review of the BBC's governance is scheduled to begin next year.Even before the Dyson report, the BBC was under pressure from some members of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party who believe the broadcaster has a liberal bias. Johnson said he was concerned about the findings and hoped that the broadcaster would make sure "nothing like this ever happens again.''At the heart of the scandal were documents made to look like bank statements, falsely suggesting that members of Diana's inner circle were being paid to spy on her.Spencer alleged that Bashir used the documents to gain his trust so Spencer would introduce the journalist to Diana. He also alleged that Bashir made up stories about the royal family to strengthen Diana's belief that there was a conspiracy against her.When graphic designer Matt Wiessler, who had been commissioned by Bashir to create mocked-up documents, saw the program, he immediately made the connection between his commission and the interview. He brought his concerns to BBC management, but he has long contended that they made him a scapegoat.He said there is a culture within the BBC that "the little people'' don't need to be addressed. His business faltered after the BBC blacklisted him from assignments."Only under duress do we get some sort of apology and some sort of acknowledgement," he told the BBC.Amid the outcry following the report, the BBC's director-general, Tim Davie, said the broadcaster "should have made greater effort to get to the bottom of what happened at the time and been more transparent about what it knew.''But the BBC also insisted that it had strengthened rules making it possible to outpoint failings."There has been radical change over the past 25 years. We now have a thorough and industry-leading whistleblowing scheme, which provides clear and independent routes to raise concerns and, if necessary, direct access for whistle-blowers to a non-executive director on the BBC board,'' the BBC said. "That is very different to the past. ''In the interview, a major scoop for Bashir, Diana famously said that "there wer...

It's late morning in the UK and vitriol is building against the BBC for its journalist, Martin Bashir's 1995 interview with Princess Diana. The BBC's director general Tim Davie has described the corporation's failures as "very, very serious" and says he accepts 'multiple serious failures'. Prince William has blasted the BBC for playing on Princess Diana's fears, fueled paranoia and covered up what they knew. Our UK correspondent, John Bevir is outside a news agents in Bristol.

Sherlock, Doctor Who and Dad's Army fans in the UK can buy and download episodes of their favourite programmes - as well as many other "lost gems from the BBC archive" - after the broadcaster launched a new online service: the BBC Store. The site features around 7,000 hours worth of content with more to come over the next year. BBC Worldwide - the commercial arm of the BBC - is behind Store. Steve speaks to CEO Tim Davie about the revenue Store will bring in, and asks him how important exploiting commercial opportunities like this is in securing the BBC's future. Wales is facing a media "market failure" that will leave the nation with a deficit of reliable information, according to a report by the Institute of Welsh Affairs. Cutbacks in spending on broadcast programmes made for Wales, falling numbers of trained newspaper journalists and a weak commercial radio sector present a "major challenge" for the nation, it says. Steve speaks to report author Ruth McElroy and Professor Ian Hargreaves from Cardiff University about the current state of the media in Wales. The BBC has revealed it's lost the singing show 'The Voice' to a rival broadcaster. It said on Saturday that the fifth series on BBC 1, which begins in January, will be the last. It's thought ITV has won the format - although it still hasn't confirmed this. So, what will this mean for the BBC, and for ITV? Steve asks Stephen Price from Broadcast what impact the change will have on ratings, and speaks to former BBC entertainment commissioner Jane Lush about how the BBC's future Saturday night schedule might look. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

Presented by Roger Bolton, this is the place to air your views on the things you hear on BBC Radio. Can the future of radio really be digital when only 5% of the UK's 34 million vehicles have digital car radios? Earlier this week the Drive 2 Digital conference aimed to spread D-Love about digital on the move, but Feedback listeners still have questions. Roger invites one listener to join Tim Davie, the BBC's Director of Audio and Music, and Ford of Britain's Steve Humbles to find out more about DAB coverage at home and on the move. And Feedback's postbag has been brimming over with messages of alarm after BBC East announced it would be axing its popular The Naked Scientists programme from January. "Vital for public understanding of science", "making listeners more science literate", were just some of the things said about the programme. But does it fulfil the BBC's remit for local radio? Mick Rawsthorne, Head of Local and Regional Programming for BBC East, doesn't think so. Finally, where would the BBC be without its listeners? Well it would certainly have some bigger gaps in its archive. No 'Music While You Work' or John Peel's early 'Top Gear' Radio 1 shows. That is, at least, until the Listeners' Archive was launched to mark the Corporation's 90th birthday. Since then, home-grown recordings have been sent into the BBC to help plug the gaps. We meet the team sifting through the gems. Presenter: Roger Bolton Producer: Kate Taylor A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
