Over to New Broadcasting House, where September is on the horizon and a new man in charge is ushering in a fresh school term. Monkey may be mixing his metaphors, but our thoughts turned to schooldays past when an all-staff email from new BBC news boss, James Harding, dropped into our inbox, subject line: "Greetings." The ex-Times man is opening his office for half a day each week until the new year for BBC bods to privately offer ideas and suggestions, according to his memo. It all sounds vaguely reminiscent of Friday mornings in the headmaster's office. See me after class!
