Monkey hears splutters of disbelief from journalists within the BBC on reading about Peter Sissons's critical view of the Beeb in his ongoing book serialisation in the Daily Mail. Monkey fans will remember in 2002 when Sissons was less enamoured of the Mail after it attacked him over his coverage of the Queen Mother's death. "Stumbling, inept and insensitive," were just some of the charges laid against him. Along with, oh, the horror... wearing a burgundy tie. At the time Sissons branded the Mail's coverage "malicious" and a "travesty". What can have changed his mind about the Mail since he wrote his memoirs and acquired a serialisation deal with Associated?
