Meet Tim Davie , the man who is likely to carry the can on this;
As the number of complaints to the BBC reached 4,500 this morning, the corporation said that the director of music and audio, Tim Davie, would compile an "urgent review" into the matter for the director general, Mark Thompson, which would be passed on to the BBC Trust. |

I think it's a win, win win situation.
Sachs has got a good sense of humour and honestly doesn't care at all.
His grand daughter will be delighted by the publicity and cannot be that sensitive if she's in Satan's Sluts.
The BBC get ratings increases.
The Mail gets circulation increases.
"Offended listener" (who never heard it) gets something to complain about.
Russell and Jonathan get front pages.
Ofcom gets a nice long job nobody will care about in a week.
Champers all around and the big winner is - the government.
Knocks the economy off the news! |

John Whittingdale sums up what a lot of people are thinking.
It raises far more serious questions about the controls in place to stop this kind of thing happening and the BBC needs to look at that to ensure it can't occur," John Whittingdale, chairman of the Culture Media and Sport Select Committee, said.
"This was a programme that was pre-recorded and was listened to and we're told that editorial staff had decided that it was suitable for broadcast.
"That does seem to be utterly extraordinary - I cannot see how the controls could've broken down so badly and this is something the BBC needs to look into.
"The BBC needs to think about whether they want to go on spending this amount of money on individuals who are repeatedly found to be in breach of what are universally held as the acceptable standards of broadcasting," he added. |
