Worried about Alan ? Fear not, he'll be back. The BBC's Creative Director, inexplicably hounded by the Guardian's Hugh Muir and Media Monkey over the festive break, has been spotted in Cape Town. Perhaps redressing his contribution to the Mandela story, or perhaps grumpy that he was one few BBC staff not flown to South Africa for the funeral.
His low holiday profile may be the result of paparazzi concentrating on Cheryl Cole. On his return, his rival may be closer at hand. Lord Hall has determined to find a new arts guru, and may well already have lighted upon the talents of Ruth Mackenzie, who helped him deliver the Cultural Olympics; who is already interim director of BBC/Arts Council collaboration The Space; and who is in and out of Broadcasting House like a yo-yo consulting on Charter renewal and more.
