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.

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.

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...

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.
