Follow the money

Just to warm you up for W1A, Jonty Claypole, the BBC's new Director of Arts, has revealed that the Big Boost for tv arts this year is £2.75 million (and he's not a commissioner).

Here's Jonty on R4's Media Show, being interviewed by Steve Hewlett - the whole discussion, at around a quarter of an hour, with Gillian Reynolds and Peter Bazalgette, is well worth an ear.
