Calm down everyone

An update on two broadcasting icons. Jeremy Paxman, despite the views of "a consensus" of "insiders" briefing the Sunday Mirror, is returning to Newsnight. He told a Telegraph reporter yesterday "I have been away filming, but I will definitely be there on Wednesday".

And the sightings of Alan Yentob in the DG Zone at new Broadcasting House also may have a more prosaic rationale than "musketeering".  In the various re-structurings of the BBC, going back to the Thompson era, Mr Yentob ended up being "line-managed" by the DG...so one presumes he's established a series of routines with acting DG and Chief Grip Tim Davie.
