So it's back to Brand and Ross. If the BBC's management thought a line had been drawn under the affair with the resignation of Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas, they were seriously wrong. The BBC Trust - the corporation's governing body - has delivered an astonishingly strong rebuke. Compliance procedures at Radio 2 had completely broken down, and there were problems at Radio 1 and BBC television as well.
Reading the report, it's clear that Lesley Douglas presided over a pretty chaotic system - she approved the broadcast of the offending programme with a one-word email. If there were any residual doubts about whether she should have resigned, they were dispelled today. Maggie Brown and Emily Bell are in the pod to pick over the report.
We also find time to talk to the ITV director of programmes, Peter Fincham, about life after the BBC - oh, and the ITV1 winter schedule.
Plus, further woes in the newspaper industry with the announcement of 90 job cuts at the Independent; Jon Gaunt is forced to walk the plank at TalkSport, and, oh all right then, the departure of John Sergeant from Strictly Come Dancing.
Hope you enjoy the show and post your comments below.
