According to the Times, the BBC have turned to judge and barrister Naomi Ellenbogen to scrutinise and comment on the PwC analysis of equal pay amongst presenters.

Naomi (King David High School, a Liverpool comp and Jurisprudence at New College, Oxford) was called to the Bar in 1992 and appointed QC in 2010, practising from Littleton Chambers (formerly at 2 Crown Office Row) throughout her career. She's a member of the Bar Yacht Club. Ellebogen is German for elbow. She has specialised in equal pay cases for over a decade - but it's unlikely to wash with the BBC Women, who tell the Times the PwC work is flawed.

Meanwhile DG Lord Hall has decided to go mob-handed to the DCMS Select Committee next Wednesday, taking both Anne Bulford and Fran Unsworth. They'll try to pick up the pieces after the MPs have interviewed Carrie Gracie and Michele Stanistreet of the NUJ.
