Excitement mounts

A grim Thursday morning ahead for Lord Hall, 69 and Sir David Clementi, 71, as they glove up to face jeering Julian Knight, leader of the Culture for Dummies Select Committee.

They'd both rather be getting on with shortlisting for a new DG. Applications to Odgers Berndtson close the day before.

Who is really having a punt ? Will the BBC have a single internal candidate in Charlotte Moore, or will Tim Davie fancy the glory, not the gain ? Will shy, unassuming Welsh wizard Rhodri Talfan Davies have a go ? Will Jane Turton, quietly effectively at All3 Media - a major BBC supplier - be a player ? How many pages will the Jay Hunt application cover ? Is Lionel Barber, lately of the FT, already bored just tweeting ?  Will Odgers or Berndtson have found anyone from the States ? Does James Goldston at ABC fancy a return to Lonodon, with partner Laura Trevelyan ?  Is Deborah Turness, formerly of ITN, bored with NBC's European project ?   So excited.....
