Jason seeks Fleece

There are interesting times ahead in Buckingham Palace Road.  From October, The Telegraph's future will be shaped by 55-year-old Jason Seiken, hired from PBS in the States - the US home of Downton Abbey.

Here's a flavour of Jason's schtick, from a presentation to PBS staff last year.



Jason is a product of Union College, Schenectady, where his dad was Professor of Mathematics. He joined the Schenectady Gazette as a reporter in 1980 - here's an article made out of very little indeed happening at all on July the 4th 1981. Click to enjoy.
