What's that? Is that the sound of rejoicing in some quarters of the BBC after incoming director general Tony Hall announced on Thursday that La-di-da job titles director of vision and director of audio and music are to be ditched, with the corporation reverting to good old-fashioned directors of television and radio? "Finally the BBC is going back to using words that the rest of the population understands," sighed a corporation toiler. "It was OK for the 90s so why did they have to change it?" Monkey looks forward to Hall's glorious reign heralding further 90s revivals – obvious candidates include This Life, Ballykissangel, Eldorado, Good Morning with Anne and Nick … and stand by for Britpop, Big Beat, Trip Hop, Acid Jazz and Handbag House all nighters on BBC4.
