Five go mad in Soho

After hanging out with the new boy at the DCMS, Monkey scampered over to Soho to the Channel Five bash to share a banana with its director of programmes and soon-to-be new BBC1 controller Jay Hunt, who could be found dancing it up with the best of them surrounded by her loyal coterie of staff, who are still slightly in shock that she is leaving them. One tricky moment came when Hunt bumped into Paul Revoir, the TV correspondent of the Daily Mail, which welcomed her appointment at the BBC with the headline "Dumbed down blonde to run BBC1". Monkey looks forward to reading a blow-by-blow account of the ensuing donnybrook on Paul's blog. Who's the scary looking guy in the glasses on the masthead, Paul?
