There's a sort of Monday 17 December vibe hanging around publication of the Pollard findings about the Newsnight-non-Savile-broadcast. And a feeling that news of the disciplinary review around the Newsnight-broadcast-that-didn't-name-McAlpine-but-was-still-wrong could come on the same day - why prolong pain ?
Still on the to-do list: the final action point arising from the MacQuarrie report: "We will as a matter of urgency fill the current vacancy for a non-executive director of the BBC with a senior external figure with a proven track record of overseeing journalism".
Could that be Pollard himself ? Does Lord Hall really need a hack at hand ?
