Diaried

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 ?]

28 Aug 2010 1030-1345 Free time [in Edinburgh]

31 Aug 2010 1230-1300 Call Andy Duncan re referee for jobs
                     1300-1430 Lunch with John Minch of Boosey & Hawkes (Jana Bennett cancelled)

01 Sep 2010 1800-1830 Mark to call Jana [was this when the move to Worldwide was sorted ?]

02 Sep 2010 1115-1215 Steve Hilton, No 10 [the visit to discuss "cuts" coverage]
                     1730-1800 Peter Barron [ex-Newsnight, now Google]
                     1830-1945 Dinner with Will Hutton, Ceconi's
