And, as you'd expect at this level of operation, Matt Brittin's succinct view that the BBC Licence Fee is a busted flush was endorsed by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy this morning on the Today programme; one might even think it was choreographed. All they've both got to do now is soften up the voting public, who will be whipped up in opposition to a TV Tax by the majority of this country's newspapers...
Mr Brittin showed a strong mastery of stats in his performance at the Culture Select Committee, and should build on that - the number of pupils using Bitesize, the performance of BBC brands on YouTube, and, if they exist, some good numbers from Instagram and TikTok ought to pepper future performances. He also clearly knows a bit about YouTube II, coming in a couple of years - that should be useful. As should a meaningful alliance with C4 - a huge catalogue of output on a shaky app.
He also remains frank about improvements needed from BBC iPlayer. How fast can Product deliver ?
