Quite a glowing tribute to him on the 'News' Channel just now from Amol Rajan. He would say that wouldn't he. He is the BBC Media Editor! A crawler.
+ 'Talent agent Jonathan Shalit said Hall had been "fantastic" in the director general role and that it was "normal" for someone in his position to move on after seven years.
"He was going to be moving on soon," he told the same BBC programme. "I think the point he makes about making sure one person oversees the midway point of the licence fee is important."'
Of course he was 'fantastic' Mr Shalit. We call it the BBC ZBC.
