Market Forces

The idea that the BBC is in some sort of contract tussle with David Dimbleby, a la Cesc Fabregas, is hugely amusing - and it remains entertaining that the Media Guardian believes it.  For a tussle to take place, somebody else has to want his services.  Apart from Sky tweaking BBC and ITV tails with presenters now whistling through their teeth (Attenborough D in 3D; Barg M in South Bank Show) and Des Lynam and Adrian Chiles making sad transitions to ITV, who else requires Dimbleby's services ?
