Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,360
Stand by, two.
2
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:10,080
Mix through. Cue on two.
3
00:00:10,180 --> 00:00:12,480
The BBC has announced
the appointment of ex-head
4
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:16,180
of Olympic deliverance Ian Fletcher,
as its new head of values.
5
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,180
Time now for
the shipping forecast...
6
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,260
Superimpose.
7
00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:37,420
The fact is, Claudia Winkleman
is an almost perfect example
8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,600
of something we currently do well.
Sure. Brilliant.
9
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:41,780
The fact is we should
be looking at better ways
10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,180
of doing more of her, not fewer.
11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,080
Right. OK. Like, duh.
12
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:47,940
Thursday morning at
the BBC's New Broadcasting House.
13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,460
Another day, another
damage limitation meeting
14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,440
and this morning it's
a one-item agenda.
15
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:55,430
What I don't understand is how this
can possibly have happened. I know.
16
00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:58,405
Yes, exactly. How did we get to this
point? I know, tell me about it.
17
00:00:58,505 --> 00:01:01,532
So, just to be clear, what you're
telling us is that Amanda Holden
18
00:01:01,632 --> 00:01:04,660
has already signed an agreement
in principle? Yes, I know, yes.
19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,720
Right, OK.
Can I just say, guys?
20
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:09,260
I never thought we'd end up
in this situation. Brilliant.
21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,600
Never thought it. No, clearly.
22
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:13,820
Despite the offer of an exclusive
contract worth BLEEP million pounds
23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,600
from rival broadcaster BLEEP,
24
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:18,850
the BBC were close to persuading
Claudia Winkleman to stay
25
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:22,000
and develop On Your Bike
as a way of being taken seriously,
26
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,940
until they discovered that they've
also been developing an almost
27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440
identical show with
Amanda Holden as presenter.
28
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:30,450
It feels to me like what needs
to happen is someone needs to
29
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:33,460
phone Amanda up and basically
explain to her... Sure. Fabulous.
30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,140
Yes, exactly. Right.
It's a no-brainer.
31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,840
I've got to say I agree, Ian.
32
00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:38,880
So, sorry,
when you say explain to her...
33
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:41,940
I don't know, just be honest with
her. Right, yes. Tell her the truth.
34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Brilliant. The truth. Exactly.
35
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:45,240
You never know, it might work.
Yes, exactly, yes.
36
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:48,250
Everyone knows, with Claudia
having promised BLEEP a decision
37
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:51,575
by the end of the week, the future
of Strictly Come Dancing and
38
00:01:51,675 --> 00:01:54,800
therefore of the BBC itself could
well be hanging in the balance.
39
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,820
When you say the truth, Ian, what
exactly are you going to say to her?
40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,460
Yes, interesting. I'm sorry,
I'm not doing this. Oh, OK.
41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,020
I don't mind who does, obviously.
No, of course.
42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Can I just say, guys?
Me neither. I'm easy.
43
00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:07,700
There'll be a form of words here,
surely. Yes. Yes, exactly.
44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,780
A form of words, yes.
Yes, no, very clear.
45
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:16,710
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the building
46
00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:19,885
it's also a big morning
for Izzy Gould.
47
00:02:19,985 --> 00:02:22,960
Hi. Hi. How are you feeling?
Yeah, good.
48
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:27,140
With the BBC facing a demand for
a ยฃ1.5 million donation to charity
49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
following its use of
the film star Hugh Grant's
50
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:33,020
image to promote a BBC product
without his consent, she's been
51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,580
summoned to the director-general's
office to explain.
52
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,040
So, do you know who
else is going to be there? No.
53
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:41,180
Apparently the more he smiles,
the bigger the trouble you're in.
54
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,900
Really? Apparently. OK.
That was a joke, right? Oh, OK.
55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,660
I just came to say good luck.
Yes, thanks.
56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,180
It'll be fine, OK?
Yes. It's simple.
57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,600
They issue a formal,
grovelling apology,
58
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:56,320
we're really sorry,
a fuck-up by a junior employee,
59
00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:59,100
in this case also an idiot, who
has since been removed from post.
60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Right. That's what happens now, OK?
61
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:04,020
And promise me you're not
going to do something stupid
62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,100
because really this has
gone far enough.
63
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,140
Sorry, guys, but when you say words,
Ian... Look, I'm really sorry.
64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,980
For Christ's sake. So I'm bored
of this now. Yeah, me too.
65
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,840
Back in Mary Berry, the search
is still on for the best
66
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:23,700
form of words to explain to
Amanda Holden that there's only
67
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,380
one BBC bike and that she's
not going to be riding it.
68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,060
OK, here's the thing with this.
All right, here we go.
69
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,240
It is not brain science.
Brain science? What?
70
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:35,260
As of now, Amanda has signed an
agreement in principled. Whatever.
71
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Yes. An agreement in principle.
72
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:41,180
Exactly, so what you do is offer her
a ridiculously small fee. Right.
73
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,260
Brilliant. Presumably we've
done that all ready.
74
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Yes, we have, Neil, yes.
75
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:48,380
No, I get that but I mean
like crazy small, like zippence.
76
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,340
OK. So, how much are you
offering her now? How much?
77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Sure, how much? I just said that.
78
00:03:53,820 --> 00:03:56,660
Well, I think we were talking
about something like BLEEP thousand.
79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,740
BLEEP thousand? I think so, yes.
Christ.
80
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,940
So, you offer her like BLEEP.
81
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
BLEEP? Sure. What? Per episode.
82
00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:05,120
No, for the whole thing, whatever.
Really?
83
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:09,780
BLEEP thousand? Well, she's getting
like BLEEP for Britain's Got Talent.
84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,540
Right, do you think? Exactly.
85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,480
BLEEP thousand.
86
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:14,840
At least BLEEP. Jesus.
87
00:04:14,940 --> 00:04:17,110
So Amanda is like,
"I really want to do this
88
00:04:17,210 --> 00:04:19,380
"and I know these guys
don't have any money"
89
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,720
but she can't accept BLEEP.
90
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:23,590
Brilliant. Her agent won't let her.
Right, well. Oh, my God, Siobhan.
91
00:04:23,690 --> 00:04:26,460
It is a slam dunk. Fabulous. That's
one way of doing it, I suppose.
92
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Yeah. It totally is.
OK, Amanda, tick.
93
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:32,560
If that doesn't work,
you can always try the truth.
94
00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:36,420
Yes. Yes, no brilliant. Goody good.
Yes, exactly. Yeah, great.
95
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:44,820
Meanwhile, Izzy has emerged from
her meeting with director-general
96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,780
Tony Hall and his people
about the Hugh Grant affair.
97
00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:59,430
So... How did it go? It was
fine. Cool. So, you told them?
98
00:04:59,530 --> 00:05:03,300
You did the right thing.
I didn't need to. What do you mean?
99
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,220
It was fine,
it's all gone away. What?
100
00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:10,210
At the southern end of the earth,
101
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,400
after four months of total darkness,
102
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,220
the sun once more
rises over Antarctica.
103
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:22,880
Astonishingly,
for both Izzy and for the BBC,
104
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:25,760
there's been some good news
overnight in the shape
105
00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:28,860
of an intervention from
a completely unexpected quarter.
106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,040
Will?
107
00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:32,640
Oh, yeah, Izzy, yeah, hi.
I don't want to disturb you.
108
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:35,820
No worries, yeah, cool. But I came
from a meeting with Tony Hall.
109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,100
Whoa, Tony Hall. Yes.
About the whole Hugh Grant thing.
110
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,840
Yeah, I know, crap.
111
00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:45,220
It appears that no less a person
than Sir David Attenborough
112
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,120
himself has now become involved.
113
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:50,780
Apparently they know each other from
the whole worldwide wildlife thing.
114
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,320
That's like, no way.
115
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:54,570
Anyway, he phoned him
personally in LA,
116
00:05:54,670 --> 00:05:56,720
he has his private number
and everything.
117
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:59,820
No way, that's like mental. That
is so random, like, I don't know.
118
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,720
Can I just ask you...? Yeah.
119
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,380
Because the first thing
I thought when they told me,
120
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,100
was this something to do with you?
121
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,800
Yeah, no, say again?
122
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,940
I know it's mad but were you
involved in this in some way?
123
00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:20,800
I knew it. Yeah, no. I knew it
was you. He's such a cool guy.
124
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:25,900
Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't
you tell me? Yeah, I know, crap.
125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,220
Will?
126
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,370
Oh, sorry. Yeah, no, crap.
127
00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:33,740
Yeah, me too. Yeah, crap.
128
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:51,780
It's Friday and the end of another
week at New Broadcasting House,
129
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,100
but this isn't so much the end
of something
130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,800
as the start of something new.
131
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:59,700
Tonight finally sees the launch
of the BBC's new online platform
132
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,560
BBC Me and with it
the dawn of a future in which BBC
133
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:07,260
content will be uploaded mainly by
the same people who then watch it.
134
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:12,020
Ah, Anna. Yes. Morning.
Yes, exactly, yes. How are you?
135
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,700
Yes, I've been trying
to catch you up.
136
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,240
With so much change in the air,
137
00:07:15,340 --> 00:07:18,570
including the creation of a single
new post of Director Of Purpose
138
00:07:18,670 --> 00:07:21,900
to replace the current posts of Head
Of Values and Director Of Better,
139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,940
there's a lot to think about
for anyone with a folding bike.
140
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,640
The fact is I need to talk to you.
Yes, right. Yes.
141
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:32,460
Are you OK with that, by the way?
Yes, I'm fine. Maybe we should...
142
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,360
Oh, careful.
143
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:38,760
Now. Are you OK? Anna? Yes, no.
144
00:07:38,860 --> 00:07:42,060
Let me have a look.
The fact is I'm fine.
145
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,260
Erm...
146
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Right, OK.
147
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:49,620
Here we go, some plaster strip
here so that's good. Yes.
148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Some TCP.
Hang on, no, that's eyewash.
149
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:55,720
No, I don't want that.
Here's the TCP.
150
00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:59,090
Fortunately for Anna, the BBC
has installed state-of-the-art
151
00:07:59,190 --> 00:08:02,335
first aid facilities in
New Broadcasting House, especially
152
00:08:02,435 --> 00:08:05,580
equipped with just this type
of folding bike injury in mind.
153
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,060
How are you doing? Yes.
It really stings, doesn't it?
154
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,760
You're doing really well.
155
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:12,020
It's certainly a different way
to start the morning.
156
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,640
The fact is
I need to talk to you. Yes.
157
00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:18,460
I'm assuming if this is the whole
Director Of Purpose thing,
158
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,820
yes, let's have coffee
or something. Yes.
159
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,080
But do you want to hold your
hand out?
160
00:08:23,180 --> 00:08:26,420
Maybe you want to just make sure
that's really dry. Exactly.
161
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,520
I don't know what to think about it.
162
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:31,040
There's so much happening
at the moment.
163
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:34,100
I haven't made a decision yet
if that's what you're asking.
164
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,360
Er...
That looks better, doesn't it? Yes.
165
00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:39,660
So, no, but just to say whatever
happens we're both grown-ups.
166
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,540
Yes. OK? Yes.
So I don't think it needs...
167
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,420
The fact is I'm leaving. Right, OK.
Yes.
168
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,860
The fact is I need to talk to you.
169
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,660
Yes, right. OK.
170
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:54,920
Meanwhile, up on
the sixth floor, Will is
171
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:58,860
arriving for work as usual, another
busy day of assisting ahead of him.
172
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:35,140
Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me.
173
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,380
Yes, no, brilliant.
174
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:43,770
It's the same day but later and
BBC Head Of Brand Siobhan Sharpe
175
00:09:43,870 --> 00:09:47,920
has come over to New Broadcasting
House from Fun Media to take the
176
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:52,020
renewal group through the itinerary
for tonight's seminal BBC Me launch.
177
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,060
So one minute to midnight you've
a ton of cool people there,
178
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,820
you've got champagne. Champagne?
Sure. Brilliant.
179
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,840
Prosecco, whatever. Yes, please.
180
00:09:59,940 --> 00:10:03,060
Sure. It may be the future but
this is still the BBC. Yeah, sure.
181
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,080
I'm good with that.
182
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:07,140
Siobhan is keen everyone understands
just how important a moment
183
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,040
this is in the history
of what was once the BBC.
184
00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:12,860
So, one minute to midnight,
cue Me, Me, Me on the big screen.
185
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,440
BBC Me, it's you, whatever.
186
00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:18,100
Then countdown to midnight like
countdown to the future. Brilliant.
187
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Everybody is like, nine, eight,
seven, six, five, four.
188
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:27,810
Yes, I think we know how a countdown
works, Siobhan. Yes. Exactly.
189
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:33,020
Three, two, one. Yay! Yes, I mean...
No, no. I've got more. Great.
190
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,380
So this is the really cool part.
We've done Me, Me, Me.
191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,500
We've done the countdown.
We've done yay, it's the future.
192
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,600
We've got everybody there,
what do we do now? Don't know.
193
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:45,600
No, so you say stuff
and I tell you the answer. Right.
194
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,660
No, I'm sorry, Siobhan. I give up.
Please, Miss, can we have a...?
195
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,040
We dance. Oh, brilliant.
196
00:10:51,140 --> 00:10:54,860
We dance. Sure. OK. Right, that's
me out. Like it's a party, right?
197
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,100
So we have the world's biggest
silent disco. All right.
198
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,200
Silent disco. Fabulous.
199
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:04,440
And we live stream
the whole thing on BBC Me.
200
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:09,440
Right. No, honestly. How cool
is that? Right, is that it now?
201
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:13,390
No, sure. We're pretty much done
here. OK, thanks for that, Siobhan.
202
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:17,205
Quite a lot to process there.
Yes, exactly. Really? There so is.
203
00:11:17,305 --> 00:11:21,020
Just to check, I am assuming Tony's
office is happy with all this?
204
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,600
Sure, totally. Right.
205
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:26,330
Tony who? Tony Hall, Siobhan.
No, sure. Director-general...
206
00:11:26,430 --> 00:11:30,060
Yeah, no, got it. Good with that.
OK, here's to the future.
207
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,540
No, honestly. Bring it on.
I can't wait. Me neither.
208
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Bagsy dance with you, Anna.
Yes, exactly.
209
00:11:35,060 --> 00:11:37,380
No, I'm sorry. Fabulous.
Yeah, great.
210
00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:11,860
Hi, Will. Yeah, hey, I don't know.
Are you off? What? Yeah, I'm off.
211
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,340
Me too. OK, cool.
212
00:12:18,620 --> 00:12:21,200
So, another week.
Yeah, another week, yeah, cool.
213
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:24,620
Are you going to this launch
thing later? Yeah, I don't know.
214
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,020
You should. Yeah. Everyone
will be there, I think. Yeah.
215
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,220
What's this?
216
00:12:33,460 --> 00:12:37,340
Oh, right. Sorry, Will. I'd better
just deal with this, I think.
217
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,740
OK, cool.
218
00:12:52,820 --> 00:12:54,280
Hi. Oh, hi. Yes.
219
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:56,560
I was going to reply but then
thought it was probably
220
00:12:56,660 --> 00:12:59,580
quicker just to... Yes, thanks.
Are you OK? Yes, no, I'm fine.
221
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:01,280
No, I don't want to keep you.
No, no.
222
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:04,260
Are you going to this thing
later on? Yes. Are you? Yes.
223
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,080
Right, apparently we've
all got to have fun. Yes.
224
00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:09,820
Yes, no, it is not official and
I'm not supposed to tell anyone
225
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,540
but I've got some news.
Right.
226
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:26,900
Will. Hey, yeah. I was just
leaving, actually. Yeah, me too.
227
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:29,980
I'll come with you, shall I?
OK, cool.
228
00:13:32,180 --> 00:13:35,120
Yes, so like another week.
229
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:39,640
Yes, another week, yes.
Are you going to...? Jack.
230
00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:42,550
Hey, yeah. I don't know.
I'm not going to ask, OK? OK, cool.
231
00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:45,460
I don't care. I was just
coming to find you. To find me?
232
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:47,320
It's On Your Bike.
What do you mean?
233
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:49,290
I just ran into David Wilkes.
Right.
234
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:51,260
It is like he's
foaming at the mouth.
235
00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:54,680
That is great, Lucy.
That's fantastic.
236
00:13:54,780 --> 00:13:57,220
They're not announcing anything
official until next week.
237
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Head Of Empowerment.
238
00:13:58,260 --> 00:14:00,700
I'm not going to believe it
until I actually get the e-mail.
239
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,960
Congratulations. Yes.
240
00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:05,120
So, hi, guys. David.
241
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:08,060
I know you're busy and didn't want
to disturb you. No, we were just...
242
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,120
I wouldn't bother you at all
243
00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:11,040
but I think something
really bad's happened.
244
00:14:11,140 --> 00:14:14,660
Something bad? And what it is, I
didn't know who else to tell. Right.
245
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:19,500
Even though it's already been
a big week for everyone at the BBC,
246
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,380
for those who haven't managed
to get out of the building yet
247
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,640
it's just got even bigger.
248
00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:25,360
So I tried to get hold of
Simon and Anna
249
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:29,320
but Simon's gone home to change
and Anna isn't answering. No.
250
00:14:29,420 --> 00:14:33,210
Oh, thank God. I found her. Lovely
Izzi. Hey, yeah. I found him, too.
251
00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:37,100
Yes, no, so what it was it I phoned
Amanda to leave her a message
252
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,740
but I got straight through to her
which I wasn't expecting.
253
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,180
In the course of a number
of conversations with both
254
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Amanda Holden and her agent
during the course of the day
255
00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:48,180
on the subject of a crazy low fee
for her BBC One Cycling Shorts
256
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,460
series, David seems to have
somehow succeeded in formally
257
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,640
attaching her to the show.
258
00:14:52,740 --> 00:14:54,760
And she's like,
"David, this isn't about money,
259
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:57,980
"it is not about that. I've had
my fill of Simon's trousers
260
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,460
"and people juggling dogs,
I'm done with that."
261
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,880
And her agent's like, what it is,
262
00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:04,320
at this point in her career,
this is a perfect fit for Amanda,
263
00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:07,060
and she'd, like, kill to be on the
BBC, she don't care who knows it.
264
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,640
Right. So, anyway, she wouldn't
have it.
265
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:10,830
And she ended up saying
that she was, like, signing
266
00:15:10,930 --> 00:15:13,020
the actual contract today and
putting it in the post.
267
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Right. End of. OK.
I know, nightmare.
268
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:16,440
With the clock ticking
towards a brick wall,
269
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:19,330
and Claudia Winkleman waiting
to hear back from the BBC
270
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:22,220
about On Your Bike, they need
to think of something fast,
271
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,000
and worse still, something good.
272
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:26,100
OK, so break the contract.
Oh, well. Whoa.
273
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,700
No, like, she's signed it now.
274
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,760
She has signed now, yes.
275
00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:30,240
Yes, I know, that's what I'm saying.
276
00:15:30,340 --> 00:15:32,940
Yes. It's fine, it's like, people
break contracts all the time.
277
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,540
Yes, but they're not the BBC.
OK, so... Well, we are.
278
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Yeah, we are, yeah.
279
00:15:36,740 --> 00:15:39,150
With other key players
having either gone home,
280
00:15:39,250 --> 00:15:41,660
gone somewhere else,
or left the BBC entirely,
281
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,360
those who are left have no option
282
00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:46,220
but to roll up whatever sleeves
they can find and try to sit down.
283
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,520
I mean, Will... Yeah, cool, yeah?
284
00:15:47,620 --> 00:15:50,220
Don't feel you've got to hang
around for this, obviously. No.
285
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,040
Yeah, no worries, yeah.
I don't know. What?
286
00:15:52,140 --> 00:15:54,540
So if you are going to be
hanging around... Yeah, cos...
287
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,500
Yeah, any chance of doing
a coffee run?
288
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,760
OK. Will... No, Jack.
289
00:15:57,860 --> 00:15:59,200
I don't know about anyone else...
290
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,060
Don't talk to me about sugar levels,
do not get me started. OK, cool.
291
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,380
No, hang on, Will. Yeah?
You were going to say something.
292
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,480
Yeah, I don't know. No, go on.
293
00:16:05,580 --> 00:16:07,680
Yeah, I don't know, it's like,
you could have, like,
294
00:16:07,780 --> 00:16:10,400
loads of different programmes
about cycling. Right, yes. Great.
295
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:13,380
Yeah, cos, like, at school, we had,
like, a whole cycling week. Right.
296
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,340
It was pretty cool.
A cycling week?
297
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,720
Yeah, like, in the summer term.
298
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:19,690
So, like, in history, it was,
I don't know, like, Penny Farthing.
299
00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:22,660
Like, in English, we had to write,
like, a story about a bike. Right.
300
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,260
Like, in maths, it was, like,
I don't know, like, wheels. Yes.
301
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,140
And, like, in geography, we did,
like, China.
302
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,920
Yes, I think we're
getting the picture, Will.
303
00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:31,060
Yeah, I know, yeah, me too.
So, what, you mean...?
304
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,200
Suddenly, out of nowhere,
and without trying,
305
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:35,920
it's starting to look as if
Will Humphries may have finally
306
00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:39,060
found himself in a situation for
which he is uniquely qualified.
307
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,560
So, like, a cycling season.
308
00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:41,960
A cycling season. Yeah, cool.
309
00:16:42,060 --> 00:16:43,600
Right. Cycling season, yeah, cool.
310
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:45,340
Or, like, a kind of
On Your Bike season,
311
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,640
but across the whole of the BBC.
312
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:48,660
Yeah, cool, yeah,
the whole of the BBC.
313
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,960
OK. Oh, my God.
314
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:52,980
His school cycling week was
no doubt intended to educate,
315
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,960
inform and entertain,
as well as to fill time
316
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:59,060
and, by some fluke of circumstance,
it turns out those were also
317
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,380
the original founding principles
of the BBC.
318
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,940
Cos you could have a public
awareness,
319
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,400
like, a health angle,
as well. Yes.
320
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,980
Like, you know, getting Britain
moving. Get Britain moving.
321
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,760
Britain on two wheels.
Britain on two wheels.
322
00:17:08,860 --> 00:17:10,890
I suppose you could run
bicycle thieves somewhere.
323
00:17:10,990 --> 00:17:12,920
Yeah, cool. Bicycle thieves.
Yeah, cool, yeah,
324
00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:15,240
with, like, bicycle police
chasing them. Yes. What?
325
00:17:15,340 --> 00:17:18,100
No, I was just thinking, in terms
of the whole distinctivity thing,
326
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,920
suddenly, this is starting
to sound very BBC.
327
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:21,640
Yeah, exactly.
No, in a good way, I mean.
328
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:24,500
OK, so how does this play with
Claudia Winkleman, then? Right, yes.
329
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,200
If we're promising her
an exclusive gig.
330
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:27,800
Yes. Yeah, I don't know,
yeah, good point.
331
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,050
OK, so I don't know, maybe
there's a version of this
332
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:32,355
where you make Claudia
the face of the whole thing. Yes.
333
00:17:32,455 --> 00:17:34,660
Oh. You know, and you make
On Your Bike the flagship show.
334
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,540
Cool. Oh, my God, genius, Ian.
Well, no.
335
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,880
Can I just say, guys, is it just me
336
00:17:37,980 --> 00:17:40,080
or have we basically just
saved the BBC? Well, cool.
337
00:17:40,180 --> 00:17:42,500
I mean, let's not get too carried
away with this just yet.
338
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,780
Yeah, no, OK, crap.
339
00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:57,280
Eventually, it's later,
340
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:59,640
and excitement is
building in the building
341
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:03,980
as the countdown to the future
for the BBC is inexorably underway.
342
00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:19,660
The guest list amounts to a literal
who's who of the social media world,
343
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,660
together with some dignitaries
specially chosen to represent
344
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,360
the outgoing world order,
such as Fiona Craig
345
00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:28,260
from the Department of Culture,
Media and also Sport.
346
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:36,530
To top it all, BBC Director-General
Tony Hall himself has arrived in
347
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:40,700
order to be there in person, as well
as to make some sort of big speech.
348
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,480
So, we put him in there, OK,
349
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:45,220
and we've got a guy with, like,
a smoke machine, whatever.
350
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,480
Right. Cool.
351
00:18:46,580 --> 00:18:48,470
Yeah, yeah. With, like, real smoke?
What?
352
00:18:48,570 --> 00:18:50,460
We put who there, Siobhan?
Brilliant!
353
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Tony? Sure. Yeah. So fun.
354
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:55,900
We're putting Tony Hall
in the TARDIS? Yes, very good.
355
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,120
As the minutes tick away,
356
00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:59,990
Siobhan and her fun, creative team
are taking Tracey and Simon
357
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:02,860
through some of the fine detail
of what's going to happen.
358
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,420
Then it's like, nine, eight,
seven, six... OK.
359
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,060
..five, four... Yes.
..three, two, one.
360
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,520
Yay!
361
00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:13,000
Yes, OK, thank you, Siobhan.
362
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:15,680
The door opens... Yeah!
Fabulous!
363
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:18,580
He comes out and he goes
to the podium, whatever...
364
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,940
Suddenly, he's arrived,
it's the future.
365
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,060
Then you've got a speech, right.
366
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,160
No, really, it's too much.
367
00:19:24,260 --> 00:19:26,330
OK, so not being awkward
or anything, Siobhan,
368
00:19:26,430 --> 00:19:28,500
but have you actually
asked Tony about this?
369
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,400
He's going to love this, right?
Yeah.
370
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,980
As someone who's worked with
Tony closely over the years,
371
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,220
and who I don't mind
saying I think he respects...
372
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,460
Yes, no, brilliant, Tracey.
..I am going to say this.
373
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,500
Tony likes to know what
he's doing, OK? Sure.
374
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,980
He doesn't like surprises.
375
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,620
OK, so he's doing this, right?
376
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,160
OK. Like, how cool is that? No.
377
00:19:44,260 --> 00:19:47,340
It's not a question, right,
it's way cool. Fabulous.
378
00:19:49,620 --> 00:19:52,190
Chief global content officer?
Yes, exactly. Right.
379
00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:54,860
Meanwhile, Anna is in
the process of taking Ian
380
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,240
through some plans of her own.
381
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:58,760
And this is LA, is it?
LA, yes, exactly. Right, well.
382
00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:01,860
The fact is, it's sunny there.
I've had enough of rain. Yes.
383
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,100
With one eye on which way
the wind is blowing
384
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,520
and another eye on the rain,
385
00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:08,700
Anna has decided to leave
the BBC behind her altogether
386
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,900
and has already landed a senior role
387
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
with US media giant Amazon
in America.
388
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:15,940
Well, I mean, what can I say?
Congratulations, Anna. Yes, exactly.
389
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,520
That sounds amazing.
Yes, exactly, yes.
390
00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:20,220
Given the responsibilities that
will come with her new role,
391
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,580
it's vital that she's done
as much preparation for life
392
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,140
in Los Angeles as possible
before she gets there.
393
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,880
That's the kitchen. Right.
394
00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:29,800
The terrace is outside. Right. Yes.
395
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:31,980
She's got some photos of a house
in Santa Monica
396
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,660
which she's happy to share with him.
397
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,240
And this is the utility room. Yes.
398
00:20:35,340 --> 00:20:37,940
There's another shower in there.
Is there? It's nice, isn't it?
399
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,260
Oh, I mean, no, it's really...
Yes, exactly, yes.
400
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,180
Oh, David. Hello, lovely Lucy.
Sorry, I didn't see you there.
401
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,660
Yes, I know.
Look at you, in your lovely dress.
402
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,360
What? Oh, no, yes, it's just...
403
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:53,960
Oh, congratulations, by the way.
404
00:20:54,060 --> 00:20:55,640
Hear they're in order.
Oh, thank you.
405
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:57,880
With the future really
not that far away now,
406
00:20:57,980 --> 00:21:00,420
Anna isn't the only one in
the room thinking about what it
407
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,640
could possibly hold for them.
408
00:21:01,740 --> 00:21:03,760
Yes, no, cos I've got
a bit of news of me own,
409
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:06,340
but I promised myself
I wouldn't tell anybody. Right.
410
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,440
What I've said is, if you've
411
00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:09,420
any sense, you keep it
to yourself, David.
412
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,840
Right, OK. Well, I mean, that's...
413
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:13,280
What it is, and this absolutely
to go no further... No.
414
00:21:13,380 --> 00:21:15,900
..but I've taken the first step
on a very big journey today.
415
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Right, have you?
Yes, I have, Lucy, yes.
416
00:21:17,660 --> 00:21:20,130
The fact is, I need to talk to you.
Well, yes, so you keep...
417
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:22,700
I mean, actually, you are doing,
actually. Yes, exactly, yes.
418
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,480
The fact is, you could
come with me. Oh, yes.
419
00:21:24,580 --> 00:21:27,260
You don't need to do this. Yes.
You don't need to be here. Well, no.
420
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:29,700
I mean, hang on, just checking,
you're not serious, are you?
421
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,880
The fact is, I'm not drunk. No.
422
00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:33,700
They're really keen on you over
there. What? The fact is... Who is?
423
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,220
We talked about it at interview.
Talked about what?
424
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,740
Yes, exactly, yes.
The fact is, we make a good team.
425
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,520
The fact is, I'm not drunk. No.
426
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:43,300
Sometimes, I think you want to
start my life all over again. Right.
427
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,020
The fact is, I feel the same. Yes.
428
00:21:47,780 --> 00:21:49,120
What it is, OK...
429
00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:51,240
OK, this morning, right...
430
00:21:51,340 --> 00:21:52,600
I filled in stage one
431
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:55,340
of the Director of Purpose
application form and I send it off.
432
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,580
What? I filled in...
No, I heard you. OK.
433
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Director of Purpose?
434
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:00,680
And now, I know what
you're thinking, Lucy,
435
00:22:00,780 --> 00:22:02,940
but do you know what I think it is,
though, what it is?
436
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,600
I'm passionate about the BBC.
437
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:07,460
Right, are you? Yes, I am, yes.
And do you know what?
438
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,480
We're living in an era of change.
Yes.
439
00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:12,690
We are in a time where, like,
literally anything can happen. Mm.
440
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:15,800
And I'm like, if anything can
happen, then do you know what?
441
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,780
Might as well be happening to you.
Yes. You mean happening to you.
442
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,100
Happening to me, yes. Yes.
Yes, I know me, yes.
443
00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:25,620
Meanwhile, as Senior Communications
Officer Tracey Pritchard
444
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960
is doing her best
to mitigate any surprises
445
00:22:28,060 --> 00:22:30,440
that Director-General Tony Hall
might find himself
446
00:22:30,540 --> 00:22:34,300
facing on the way to his big speech,
in another part of the room,
447
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,900
Will Humphries has got
other issues to think about.
448
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:40,800
Hi. Hi.
449
00:22:40,900 --> 00:22:43,240
This is fun, isn't it? Yeah.
450
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:46,420
Yeah. That for me? No, I just
picked up two just in case.
451
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,020
Right, well, thanks.
452
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:50,000
Cheers. Cheers.
453
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:51,900
Here's to David Attenborough, then.
454
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,760
Yes. Mm, what a guy.
455
00:22:53,860 --> 00:22:54,880
Yeah. If it wasn't for him,
456
00:22:54,980 --> 00:22:57,220
you would've crashed
and burned by now. Well...
457
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,100
And all just to protect
Forrest Gump.
458
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:04,620
Christ. Oh, I'm sorry.
For God's sake. No, I'm sorry.
459
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,320
No, no, fine. Whatever.
460
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:08,060
Drink your own bloody prosecco.
461
00:23:27,380 --> 00:23:29,580
Hi. Hi. Nice quiet corner.
462
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,520
Yes, it's... Yes.
463
00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:33,500
Not long to go now. No. No.
464
00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:38,020
Well, here's to you. To?
To empowerment. Oh, right, yes.
465
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:39,480
Congratulations.
466
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:41,450
And here's to purpose.
467
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:43,420
Right, yes. Cheers.
468
00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:49,010
I hope you stay.
469
00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:50,375
Yes, well...
470
00:23:50,475 --> 00:23:51,740
I really do.
471
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:57,480
Meanwhile, as midnight approaches,
472
00:23:57,580 --> 00:24:00,660
it's time to put BBC
Director-General Tony Hall
473
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,020
in the TARDIS.
474
00:24:07,820 --> 00:24:10,420
OK, well, he's in. Right. Cool.
475
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,800
Great. Yes, no, great.
476
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:13,520
Can't see anything
going wrong with this.
477
00:24:13,620 --> 00:24:15,860
Poor Tony looked a bit forlorn
in there on his own. Yes.
478
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,820
OK, all set here, guys,
we're locked and loaded?
479
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,200
I've got to say, I'm not surprised.
480
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:21,240
He asked me if I'd mind
leaving the door open a bit.
481
00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:24,300
I bet he did. Not being funny but I
wouldn't go in there if you paid me.
482
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,240
Really rather sweet.
483
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:27,520
OK, shut up. And run, Me, Me, Me.
484
00:24:27,620 --> 00:24:30,980
OK, we've got one minute, guys,
one minute. Right, here we go.
485
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,420
Me.
486
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,760
Me...
487
00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:36,520
OK, can somebody
close that door, OK?
488
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:39,700
No. Ah, now... No, I'm sorry,
Siobhan, Tony wants that open.
489
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,860
Excuse me? It's dark in there.
Dark? Yes.
490
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,840
Well, let's not...
It's a door, right? Yes.
491
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:45,720
If it's a door,
he comes out of that, duh.
492
00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:48,090
No, I'm sorry, he expressly
asked for it not to be shut.
493
00:24:48,190 --> 00:24:50,360
Let's not... OK, we've got
50 seconds here. I don't care.
494
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:52,940
That door gets closed or that
guy's got nothing to come out of
495
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,280
and we just launched a train wreck.
496
00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:57,820
I don't care, you are not shutting
Tony Hall in the TARDIS.
497
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,000
Me!
498
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:02,080
Me!
499
00:25:02,180 --> 00:25:03,880
Right. Er, so...
500
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:06,080
Brilliant. Fuck's sake.
501
00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:08,660
No, no, I'm sorry.
I can't watch this. Erm...
502
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,440
No, this absolutely cannot happen.
503
00:25:10,540 --> 00:25:12,540
No, I mean, it's
an interesting one, isn't it?
504
00:25:14,540 --> 00:25:17,630
Ten, nine, eight,
505
00:25:17,730 --> 00:25:20,820
seven, six, five,
506
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,020
four, three,
507
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,100
two, one.
508
00:25:46,660 --> 00:25:48,760
Come out of there. Are you OK?
509
00:25:48,860 --> 00:25:51,100
Come out of there. Come out.
510
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,300
What the fuck?
511
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,420
Tony?
512
00:25:56,580 --> 00:25:58,920
Are you actually in there?
513
00:25:59,020 --> 00:26:04,780
So, yes, BBC Me is now live online
and broadcasting to the world.
514
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:14,940
Yes, we may be in the digital future
but we are still the BBC.
515
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,820
Now, we were thinking Tony Hall,
our Director-General,
516
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,800
might want to say something
to mark this moment
517
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:24,060
but currently, as some of you
might have already noticed,
518
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,960
and this is typical of him,
by the way,
519
00:26:26,060 --> 00:26:29,220
it looks like he's overshot
and gone so far into the future
520
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,460
that he's left the rest
of us temporarily behind.
521
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Yay!
522
00:26:32,620 --> 00:26:35,030
We may well get him back at
some point but in the meantime,
523
00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:37,540
my name is Ian Fletcher,
I'm currently Head of Values here
524
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,260
and I'll be your waiter tonight.
525
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:40,200
Yay!
526
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:42,320
I'm going to keep this really short.
527
00:26:42,420 --> 00:26:44,540
I gather we've got
some sort of dancing to do.
528
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,520
Yay!
529
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:50,100
So this is indeed a big moment,
the start of an exciting new era.
530
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,480
But we're in this building.
531
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:55,020
"Nation shall speak unto nation"
is what it says above the door,
532
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,600
so everything changes
but nothing changes.
533
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,940
In fact, what it says is "Nation
shall speak peace unto nation."
534
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:02,880
Yay!
535
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:05,100
But let's not get
ahead of ourselves.
536
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,840
So, yes. So, BBC Me, It's You.
537
00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:12,720
Of course we're in an age of
great change and as time passes,
538
00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:16,610
as people come and go, the Me
will change and the You will change,
539
00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:20,500
the technology will change but
the thing at the centre of it all,
540
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,740
the speaking unto each other,
that will remain,
541
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,980
and it will be more vibrant,
more far-reaching
542
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,700
and more important
than it's ever been.
543
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:33,020
Thank you. Yay!
544
00:27:38,820 --> 00:27:40,540
George!
545
00:27:45,180 --> 00:27:49,260
With the time for speaking now over,
it's time for something else.
546
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,240
For everyone, it's time to dance.
547
00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:56,220
Power Of Love
by Huey Lewis And The News
548
00:27:59,060 --> 00:28:01,480
At last, after everything
that's happened,
549
00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:04,300
it looks as if a future
of some kind for the BBC
550
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,920
is finally underway,
551
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:09,110
and perhaps, for the moment,
that's all that matters.
552
00:28:09,210 --> 00:28:12,300
Perhaps it's enough that
the night is still young.
553
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:25,500
For the moment, tomorrow
may seem a long way away.
554
00:28:30,860 --> 00:28:32,800
But exactly who will be
in that tomorrow
555
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,040
and what it will hold for them
if they are, no-one knows.
556
00:28:36,140 --> 00:28:39,900
Ain't No
Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross
557
00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:50,260
Only time will tell.
