Media Talk podcast: BBC takes a bruising from MPs

Jul 12, 2013, 09:45 AM

First the Jimmy Saville affair, the Digital Media Initiative and now payoffs – BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten has not had an easy time in front of the select committee for a long while. John Plunkett is joined by Broadcast editor Lisa Campbell and media consultant Paul Robinson to discuss the fallout. Also in this week's programme, Roy Greenslade listens to secret recordings of Rupert Murdoch talking to Sun staff and finds nothing too incriminating – and there's criticism of the BBC's coverage of Wimbledon and – more understandably – Ben Elton's sitcom The Wright Way. Plus, Rebecca Nicholson drops by to review Channel 4's The Murder Trial, Count Arthur Strong's transfer from Radio 4 to BBC1 and new Netflix comedy drama Orange is the New Black.
