Thrash

Alarming news reaching me that James Purnell, BBC Director of Strategy and Digital and Probably Some Other Adjectives, has been spotted with facial hair in the direction of a beard.

Hard to imagine, but one suggestion is that he's trying for an unrecognised visit to Glastonbury, where Director of Music Bob Shennan has promised that every one of the 300 BBC staff and freelancers in attendance will have a "clear and accountable" role.

Below I've "imagined" Jimmy with a beard borrowed from Metallica's Kirk Hammett, headlining this key celebration of British tuneful popular music.
