BBC u-turn sees Tim Walker back on news channel

The power of Monkey! Or possibly not. Daily Telegraph diarist Tim Walker, you may remember, bemoaned in today's paper how he had been banned from the BBC News channel's newspaper review, possibly for writing a piece about how Fiona Bruce had moaned about the "tat" that viewers bring to Antiques Roadshow. Well, a couple of hours – and one Monkey – later, it appears the "ban", such as it was, has been lifted. Tim has been invited to review the papers on BBC News tomorrow night. One more reason, if one more reason were needed, to watch Sky ... sorry, the BBC News channel.
