Yesterday's BBC report on improving the Corporation's percentages of BAME staff at senior levels was the first of five. The DG has promised reports on women, disabled staff, LGBT staff and those from different social backgrounds 'by the autumn'.

Hmm. The last three appointments deemed worthy of a press release by the BBC are Alison Hindell (Mary Datchelor School and Somerville, Oxford) to Head of Radio 4 Commissioning Drama and Fiction; Adam Smyth (Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Oxford University) to Head of News BBC NI, and Liz Gibbons (Simon Balle School and St Edmund Hall, Oxford) to Editor, Victoria Derbyshire.
