Naming conventions.

In general, I'm against turning the Broadcasting House piazza into a colonnade of statues of broadcasting legends. (I was never comfortablee about furtive committees deciding who deserved have a meeting room named in their honour.)

I suspect the idea of a Bruce Forsyth statue will have some momentum, but let George Orwell be the only, quirky contribution in cast bronze or chiselled stone outside the BBC's headquarters.

There is, however, an opportunity at Television Centre, where Studio 1, the original home of Strictly Come Dancing, is about to re-open for business. The Sir Bruce Forsyth Studio. (Unless our commercial colleagues at BBC Studioworks have already given naming rights to some online betting group or lager brewer).
