New BBC Director General is Tony Hall

Two lords do not a crisis make

The chief executive of the Royal Opera House and the BBC's former director of news, Tony Hall, has been appointed the corporation's new director general. BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten said Mr Hall was "the right person to lead the BBC out of its current crisis".

Well, let's hope so. And seeing as Lord Patten is a Catholic perhaps he could get Tony Hall to rein in the biased reporting and chippy comments of his presenters. We could do without the sneering remarks (Bill Turnbull on Breakfast!) when it comes to matters of belief and conscience.
