Off key

Here's a video of Tim Davie's keynote to the creative industries section of a big virtual conference, held just four days after his appointment as Director General, BBC. It's perhaps understandable he appears to be reading sections of the 16 minute address for the first time, and there is the odd off-screen thump which suggests IKEA assembly going on elsewhere in his farmhouse just outside Henley. But he'll need to work harder to galvanise BBC staff from September.
