Kirsty questions Matt

The last Edinburgh TV Festival is underway (it moves to Manchester in 2027), and the casting of BBC DG Matt Brittin's session couldn't be better. As Andrew Neil concocts an argument that the ending of Newsnight signifies the end of the BBC, Matt will face an hour being interviewed by former Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark. 

A good number of BBC Commissioners and executives are on other platforms (the ones struggling to find the 16-34 audience), so maybe Matt can attend their sessions and make some judgements about how many managers the BBC needs...
