Lots to be said about the self-inflicted wounds hurting the BBC at the moment, but David Dimbleby gave a particularly coherent and forthright performance on this morning's 'Today' programme. His criticism of George Entwhistle was that his failure to 'fight' (for instance in the Saturday interview with John Humphreys) in itself suggested he wasn't up to the job. A man who resigns in these circumstances has made a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Dimbleby was once a contender for the job of DG and also Chairman; wonder if he's still interested? On the basis of this morning's interview, he'd be a pretty good bet, and a reassuringly vigorous figure for the BBC.
