I'm having a bit of struggle imagining who BBC DG Tim Davie will turn to, to lead an 'independent' investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Martin Bashir/Panorama interview with the Princess of Wales back in 1995.
It can't be someone with 'too much' BBC in their CV. Nick Pollard handled the Newsnight/Savile aftermath, back in 2012. Ken Macquarrie won't have retired fast enough to have another go, after leading on the Newsnight/child abuse mess, also in 2012, and the Clarkson punch-up in 2015.
Perhaps former C4 News and Current Affairs boss Dorothy Byrne ? She's still described as 'Editor at Large', and is Chair of the Ethical Journalism Network....
