BBC’s Tony Hall gets it right even when he gets it wrong?

The new BBC director general Tony Hall barely had time to arrange the pens on his new desk before two hot potatoes landed on it. I disagreed with his decision on the Wizard of Oz protest song and, you may not be surprised to hear, disagree with the line taken on the LSE’s complaints about the BBC Panorama North Korea film. But politically, he may well have done the right thing.
