The BBC Has a New Boss. Will He Enforce the Radical Change it Needs to Survive?
Steve Clarke It is, by common consent, the job from hell, but within days of starting as BBC director general, Tim Davie, achieved the impossible by generating positive headlines in outlets normally critical of the Beeb.He achieved this simply by reversing a decision not to sing “Rule Britannia” — a patriotic song linked to the United Kingdom’s colonial past — at the famed Last Night of the Proms, the finale to the BBC’s annual summer music festival, and as much a part of the English psyche as Wimbledon and tea drinking. Whether Davie can repeat this deft touch, which overturned an initial decision to skip the lyrics and only play an orchestral rendition, once he gets into his stride is anyone’s guess.

Have you heard the one about the right-wing comedian? Nah – they’re all shit
The Telegraph reported that the new Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie, a man whose surname doesn’t even sound finished, is set to drastically reduce the amount of left-wing comedy on the Beeb. As a stand-up comedian, I was thrilled, finally, this might be the thing that swings this country to vote left again.Because the only thing that might make middle England stop and think, ‘Actually, you know what? Leaning towards another wave of fascism could be bad’, is watching right-wing comedians bang on about how much money they have and how the poor should all die.There aren’t many right-wing comedians (and if they are, they’re people like Jim Davidson.
