Tom's dad

When Tom Ilube was appointed as a non-executive director of the BBC, we mentioned that his father had worked as a tv engineer for Auntie in the 60s.

Now Tom has revealed in a blog post that he recounted his father's story during the interview process that got him to the new BBC Board.

(Sadly, it's not very revealing about the work of the Board; we've had no minutes from the Executive or the Board since February.)

Finished very long, grown up meeting. Posh sandwiches for lunch. Have now sneaked off to Mickie D's. Would Sir like large fries? Damn right!
