The Disappointment of Leaving the BBC
I love the BBC I think public service broadcasting is one of the most important things about public life in this country. When you look at all the stuff about fake news my god we need the BBC so I have an almost romantic idea of the BBC indeed I sometimes used to say I'm the only person left including in the BBC who really believes in public service broadcasting. It was a terrible terrible position to be in because I was assumed to be able to make things happen and in fact wasn't actually in charge of the corporation at all as we're still being run by the director general and a separate board. You can't help but take those sort of slings and arrows personallyreally.
