Roger Mosey, former BBC editorial director on the Lineker fallout, Downing St emails, Fiona Bruce and appointing a new chairman

Roger Mosey, former editorial director of the BBC, head of TV news and director of sport discusses the handling of the Gary Lineker and Fiona Bruce controversies, the BBC board and its vision and the leaked emails and WhatsApp messages showing BBC editors asking their journalists to avoid using the word “lockdown” in reporting at the start of the pandemic and to be more critical of Labour after pressure from Downing Street.

“I was worried too. And I talked to some quite senior people in the BBC on the broadcasting side and they were also worried."
