The appointment diaries of the DG Mark Thompson for a number of weeks last year are now available under FoI disclosure (with more Snopaque in use on some days than others). It would take a more rigorous researcher than me to piece something telling together, but snippets are none the less useful. My bits in square brackets...
27 Aug 2010 0845-1130 Mark to hang around at Heathrow [ahead of flight to Edinburgh for MacTaggart lecture - he's clearly flown into LHR from some secret destination] Overnight Point Hotel Bread Street Edinburgh (Malmaison cancelled) [price sensitivity or convenience ?]

1300-1430 Lunch with John Minch of Boosey & Hawkes (Jana Bennett cancelled)
