With Tony Hall stepping down as director general, we asked to hear your thoughts on what’s next for the corporation
I suppose it’s fanciful, but I’d like to have them care less about audience figures and trying to please everyone. Usually when they take a risk and do something because they think it’s good, rather than because they feel it’s what people want, it works. I’d like them to stop trying to stir things up (e.g. Question Time and the Today programme), stop being so damn nervous about presenters giving opinions (the Naga Munchetty row) and don’t worry when they’re doing something basically entertaining but not necessarily educational.
