Wa-hay for Sport Relief. BBC DG Lord Hall strolled 350 yds from his Henley home this morning, to the Leander Club. He sounded the klaxon for the start of Radio Oxford's bid to row the length of the Thames in Oxfordshire - 80 miles - on a rowing machine, in twelve hours. He noted his own earlier contribution to the charitable effort, calling bingo numbers in Salford.
