Tim's time

Good to see that BBC Worldwide supremo, Tim Davie is still keeping "mens sana in corpore sano". He took part in hometown Henley's Highwayman Triathlon event over the weekend - an event so fiendishly complex that assessing how well he did as a member of a three-strong team over three days swimming, cycling and running is nigh impossible. I think it's correct to say he ran 17km in 1hr 16 minutes - which is probably brilliant for a 'vet'.

It will have given him time to work out how much BBC Worldwide is going to put on the table in the Charter renewal negotiations, with the help of its emerging best mates, BBC Studios.
