Daddy

BBC Director of Strategy and Digital James Purnell, 45, is the proud father of a baby daughter.

The Telegraph reveals that his first day back at work, after a fortnight' paternity leave, was Thursday - with publication of the Green Paper on Charter Renewal comming just before 1pm. “I did have daddy brain, I must say. It was slightly fuzzy for first few hours.”

Still, by the time of the Telegraph interview, Jim turns parenthood to the advantage of #backthebbc:
“It’s the best thing I’ve ever experienced. She is absolutely great. My youth was spent listening to Desert Island Discs and the Today programme. I very much want to make sure that it is still here in a generation to come.”
