Just a month to go to the Royal Television Society's Cambridge Convention, perhaps the highest-powered annual gathering of its kind, this year boasting a woeful theme - "Reshaping Britishness On The Global Stage".
It takes place in the intimate setting of King's College, with little opportunity afforded for social distancing, and costs £2,400 including VAT per delegate for just two days. The BBC is fielding Director General Tim Davie, Nations boss Rhodri Talfan Davies and chairman Richard Sharp, yet to find either of his feet as a public speaker. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden will be there, probably clutching the licence-fee settlement to his bosom - it's not the time for the big reveal, but the shape of the deal will be known to the BBC side.
Former DG Mark Thompson still clearly enjoys the Oxbridge vibe; attendance can't be of much benefit to his current gig with Ancestry.
