Auntie undecorated

There don't seem to be any gongs for those who carried the Olympics to our tvs, radios and laptops.

The New Year's Honours list does find room for Jeremy Lloyd, OBE, the remaining half of the partnership with David Croft, who brought us 'Allo 'Allo and Are You Being Served ?  Actor Adrian Lester can probably thank "Hustle" for at least part of his OBE. In other bits of broadcasting, Barry Cox, who helped the UK switch-off analogue telly as chairman of Digital UK, is made a CBE. Darren Henley, Managing Director of Classic FM, collects the OBE.

There's one with a more definite BBC connection - media correspondent Torin Douglas, MBE. Even so, it's for services to the community in Chiswick, where he's run a whole series of festivals and events over the past ten years.
