The challenge is the culture. You have to have a vision for the BBC-it can't merely be that it's big and has a place in the market.

You have to be damn certain you're putting something better in its place.

Programme names have been changed, and we have Andrew Neil saying he won't be using long words.

The BBC produces wonderful programmes; it also produces a load of old rubbish.

Over the last two years, I have been able to comb through The Prince's archives. I have been free to read his journals, diaries and many thousands of the letters.

I ought to rejoice in the fact that our principal rival has died, but I don't.

It's absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I'm not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night.
