Matt landing

It looks like it only the vetting hurdle to clear for Matt Brittin ahead of his announcement as next Director General of the BBC. 

Will it be a formal interview with a security team ?  Will it be harder than Mandelson's ?   Will they ask his last year's full salary at Google - he previously couldn't remember a figure in front of MPs ? Will they check his A Levels - did Geography or Rowing get him into Robinson College, Cambridge, to study Land Economy ?  Should they run the rule over his Facebook friends - Alan Rusbridger, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, balanced by Kamal Ahmed and Beverly Turner ?

Should he be forgiven for losing three Boat Races in a row ?  Particularly at a time when I liked to place a £1 double with that day's Everton result at the Ladbrokes on Highbury Corner ?
