While we await Mark Byford's appearance on Radio 5 Live, there are readers who will enjoy this BBC "background to the news" video from 1989.
Our hero is Michael Buerk. As the day progresses, and a real story arrives, more and more important suits arrive. Enjoy a brief shot of Mark Byford at a meeting; Mark Damazer saying "conflated" and "wunderkind"; Mark Thompson showing up, as Editor of the Nine, pretty ineffectively; Adrian Van Klaveren item producing; Tony Hall dictating a news flash having a crafty fag, with Ian Hargreaves; the late great Steve Rose staying cool; Tim Orchard briefing news organiser and golfer Mike Blakey; John Cole, John Sergeant and much more.
