Say what you like about Thommo's BBC, there's some fearless, plain-speaking staff on his books - and they clearly don't mince their words in the Acquisitions area of CBeebies, MediaCityUK. Programme executive Sarah Legg has written to the Ariel website, calling on Marcus Agius to stand down immediately as Senior Non Executive director from the BBC Executive, thus...
How can he possibly be allowed to stay on the board, which is devised to bring objectivity, experience and expertise - gained over successful careers - to the BBC, and assist the executive directors in deciding how best to run the BBC? The sheer depth of the scandal clearly shows Marcus Agius was not fit to run Barclays bank, let alone comment on the affairs of the BBC, and he should not be allowed to jeopardise the BBC's reputation by remaining on the board.
Sarah, who describes herself, one hopes in fun, as Europe's premier Black Lace impersonator, elicits this reply from Thommo.
Marcus Agius has been and remains a highly valued colleague during his role as Senior Non-Executive Director of the BBC's Executive Board, and his wealth of experience has been of great benefit to the BBC.
