Tyke time

George Entwistle is "keeping it Yorkshire" in his first move as DG-Designate. Roger Mosey, 54, currently the BBC's Olympics supremo, is to be acting Director of Vision - filling (temporarily or not ?) the gap left by George's promotion.

Roger was born in Bradford, and went to Bradford Grammar before Wadham College, Oxford; he splits his football loyalties between Bradford City and Arsenal FC.  George Entwistle has the environs of Wakefield to thank for his upbringing - Silcoates School and then Queen Elizabeth Grammar School - before pressing on to Castle College, Durham University.

However, he was born in Woolwich (which many people, me included, have previously missed). Whether or not this implies any loyalty to the (Woolwich) Arsenal, needs clarification.
