The BBC has the obligation to think big. And at the moment, that clarion call sounds an uncertain note to me.

While I have corrected agreed factual errors, I have not been inhibited from writing what I felt to be the truth about The Prince of Wales.

I had no expectation that the Prince would offer me the unprecedented and unfettered access to the original and entirely untapped sources on which this biography is based.

I adore Madonna. She reinvents herself like no one else.

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.

I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.

I'm not certain that the BBC can claim to be making a wide enough range of distinctive programmes to make the case convincingly.
