It's never easy starting a new job. An unfamiliar computer system to get to grips with, the names of your new colleagues to remember, and where exactly is the coffee machine? Or, in the case of Peter Fincham, Jay Hunt and Ben Gale, who start new jobs today in charge of ITV1, BBC1 and Channel Five respectively, that last question is more likely to be: who exactly do I ask to get me a coffee?
So how is their first day going, I wonder? Fincham will be acclimatising himself to a much smaller HQ than he was used to at the BBC; Hunt will be easing into a much bigger HQ than she was used to at Five; while Gale will be working out, in the absence of any sort of boss at Five, who he is going to get to sign his expenses.
But if you've bumped into any of the three "newbies" on your travels today then do let us know how they are getting along.
We are most interested, of course, in whether any of them got lost after leaving the lift on the wrong floor, had an accident with the water cooler machine, or tried to get something for breakfast from the canteen only to find it had already shut.
Programming commissions also welcome - but on their first day in the job, unlikely.
