Media Talk: BBC Trust review, ITV and Graham Norton

It's business as usual as Matt Wells returns to the presenter's chair for this week's Media Talk, and he's joined in the studio by Janine Gibson and Stephen Brook .

Television dominates our agenda, and we start with the BBC Trust review of the output across BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4. Was it worth the paper it was written on?

From there, our focus is on ITV as we attempt to intellectualise The Only Way is Essex. We also examine The X Factor "fix" and the ongoing failings on the Daybreak sofa. So much for the channel catering to the lowest common denominator...

We finish by hearing from Graham Norton about life at Radio 2. Is he in danger of assuming "national treasure" status?
