THAT UNIQUE QUALITY

Just watched Chris Patten on the Marr Show extolling the qualities of BBC output. Quite. So then I endure a few minutes of pouting Suzanne Reid’s “Sunday Morning” programme to discover that the panel of “expert” commentators includes Terry Christian and a former burglar. That’s the sort of quality that so distinguishes the BBC and which Chris Patten (David Cameron’s man) thinks is worth £3bn a year.
