Tim era

The rush to judge has started. Tim Davie has won Twitter endorsements as BBC DG from Roger Mosey, Oliver Dowden, John Sweeney and George Osborne. Nothing much positive from women, yet.

Some amusing quotes: "A wet flannel. Literally the most average of average white men." "A chlorinated chicken in ostensibly human form". Others recall meetings where he moved the closure of Radio 6 Music, and fixed Chris Evans to 'save' Top Gear'. More as it comes in....

We note that the interview panel, BBC Chairman Sir David Clementi, with Board members Dame Elan Closs Stephens, Sir Nicholas Serota and Dr Ashley Steel, was not rich in journalistic experience.
