Two utterly damning reports into the BBC landed within a matter of hours of each today, calling into question the future of the director-general Tim Davie and indeed the corporation itself.
Firstly, the failure to handle the behaviour of Gregg Wallace was laid bare in an internal review that saw the BBC admit that it could have done more to stop the Masterchef presenter.
And then it went from bad to worse after a separate review into the controversial documentary Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone confirmed that it had breached editorial guidelines on accuracy, having failed to disclose that the narrator was the son of a Hamas official.
Camilla and Tim speak to former culture secretary Sir John Whittingdale, who believes that Tim Davie “must be considering his position” and that “the funding of the BBC is rapidly reaching the point where we have to look at alternatives”.
