Just when the BBC thought things could not get any worse newly appointed acting director-general of the BBC, Tim Davie, abruptly ends an interview with Sky News’s Dermot Murnaghan at lunchtime today, interviewer Murnaghan said ” I bet he wouldn’t do that to the BBC”.

This is shocking behaviour from a man who is acting head of one of the biggest and most respected organisations in the world and while we are here if I were to appear on Sky News fronting the BBC the least I would do is wear a tie.

In my opinion Mr Davie will live to regret this behaviour and will be marked down as a serious contender for the official position in the BBC.
