Left or right ?

It's Lord Hall Day minus seven and counting, at the BBC. A week today, cameras will track him entering the Broadcasting House for his first official shift in charge. Will he duck left or right inside the glass revolving doors?  Left might suggest a trip back through the corridors of "old" Broadcasting House, where there are still some panelled offices; right would suggest he's sticking with a working life in the Glass Box of Entwistle.

Meanwhile, the phone will be ringing off the hook in office of acting comms boss, Julian Payne, as pushy programme researchers and fixers demand the "first interview".  I suspect it won't come for a while - and may not fall to John Humphrys. Or even "rising star" Eddie Mair. Lord Hall will be more interested in prepping for the Culture Select Committee, who have asked for his attendance before the end of April, where the permanently pugnacious Philip Davies MP will be waiting.
