Dame Jenny Abramsky, former Director of Audio and Music at the BBC, has given an interview to The Telegraph as she prepares to step down from leadership of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
She's not packing in, though. In September, she steps up to chair the Royal Academy of Music, following Lord Burns. She's been getting used to their style, joining the governing body a year ago, alongside Lady Suzanne Heywood (of McKinsey fame), which may have produced entertaining chats about how the BBC is or should be organised.
The Telegraph tries to draw Jenny out on the current BBC. The only thing she volunteers is a suggestion that Auntie should up its science programming. "This country doesn’t do enough science and the BBC has a responsibility there.” Jenny's son, Rob, is a BBC science producer.
