Appropriate 'Tone'?
Aug 12th, 2010, 8:30pm
 
On BBC pensions, even the test card is angry with Mark Thompson

Such has been the anger within the BBC at the corporation's proposed changes to its final salary pension scheme that a Q&A with the director general, Mark Thompson, was broadcast live to staff on its internal Gateway network on Monday.

The appropriate tone for the discussion was set by the test card which went up before the discussion went live. "Mark Thompson pensions = screw you" said a caption which probably wasn't intended to be included by corporation high-ups.

Thank goodness they didn't go for Chris Morris's infamous sign-off to the then Channel 4 chief executive Michael Grade.
