This week we review - W1A (Series 3, Episode 1)
Ian Fletcher, the ex Head of the Olympic Deliverance Commission, takes up his next big job - the Head of Values at the BBC.
His task is to clarify, define, or re-define the core purpose of the BBC across all its functions and to position it confidently for the future, in particular for Licence Fee Renegotiation and Charter Renewal in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Reith was then; this is now.
The post is sold to Ian as a chance to influence and shape one of the great British institutions.
His job is to think Big Thoughts, but it doesn't him take long to realise that not only does he not have time to think Big Thoughts, he never has time to think any thoughts at all.
Written by John Morton
Produced by Paul Schlesinger
Directed by John Morton
A BBC Studios Production
