It's a brave BBC Arts Honcho who messes with Mary Beard.
Mary, on Twitter, thinks Inside Culture With Mary Beard on BBC2 is for the chop. It's a BBC Studios Production. It was commissioned by BBC Arts and BBC Two by Jonty Claypole (Remember him ?). The Series Producer is Sandy Raffan. Executive Producer is Tanya Hudson.
It morphed from seven episodes of Front Row: Lockdown Culture, and six series of Front Row Late, where the production team first flirted with presenters Giles Coren, Amol Rajan and Nikki Bedi, before lighting upon Mary, who's been host since October 2017.
Who's trying to cancel it ? Can it be new Arts and Classical Music boss, Suzy Klein ? Or recently-anointed Director of Unscripted Kate Phillips, previously a shiny-floor specialist ?
