The great and the good of the Beeb were at Vision director Jana Bennett's Christmas drinks last night at a room at Somerset House, including Roly Keating, Ben Stephenson and Jana herself, in a very fetching black and gold dress. But how times have changed in these sober economic climes. Monkey can remember a BBC festive party at Somerset House about seven years ago when the mulled wine flowed and the jacuzzi of cash was dipped into for ice rink tickets. Few who were there will forget former director general Greg Dyke and Alan Yentob taking to the ice for a spin arm in arm. Now ITV is the only broadcaster to have Dancing on Ice.
