I am suprised at the level of heavy breathing going on about Grade's
departure. Clearly there is very little vision in the executive branch
of the television industry right now.

Ian, why don't you apply for the job of Chairman of the BBC?
I think the Chairman is more of a strategic hands-off job, and I'm
