The dai is cast. Rhodri The Builder and the rest of the BBC Wales team can do no more. (Cue irritating drum beat) The final decision rests with the BBC Executive and the BBC Trust.
The short list for a new HQ for BBC Wales is down to three. As expected, there's one posh-ish Waterside site in Cardiff Bay, next to the politicians; the other two are decidedly less glam, one to the north and one to the south of the main rail station.
Rhodri Talfan Davies has shared the news, because now, frankly, the decision is down to price for a 30-year tenancy - and it would be odd for the BBC not to choose the cheapest. Particularly when there's no news of buyers for the Llandaff site.
Maybe in the business case, they can put some reduced expenses in the "costs avoided" section. There should be no taxis to and from the station in the second two options. Rhodri knocked up a healthy £5641.28 in the first reported quarter of this year for travel, accommodation and entertainment - with no flights.
