In tears listening to Sue on #r4today describing her partner’s hospitalisation with coronavirus and being told he has “zero chance of pulling through”. Anyone who wants to flout the #StayAtHome rules should be made to listen to her interview

After almost 20 years I’m leaving the BBC to join @C4Dispatches as Commissioning Editor. I’m very excited about the new challenge. I’ve had a fantastic time at the Beeb and am particularly proud of all that we’ve achieved on @VictoriaLIVE - I know the programme will flourish.

BBC racism row: Naga Munchetty complaint was also about co-host Dan Walker

Monday at 9pm on Channel 4: Rape: Who’s On Trial? one of the most powerful and devastating programmes I’ve ever seen on the subject. Over 3 years we followed Avon and Somerset Police’s rape unit. Followed immediately at 1030 by a debate #C4rapedebate with ⁦ @JackieLongc4 ⁩

Absolutely delighted that @C4Dispatches Growing Up Poor: Britain’s Breadline Kids has been nominated for a BAFTA. It was one of the first films I commissioned at C4 and sensitively told the story of children growing up in poverty. It’s still up on All 4 - narrated @Sheridansmith1

Amidst all the love for @Tyson_Fury don’t forget this is a man who said: - "Homosexuality, abortion and paedophilia. Those three things need to be accomplished before the world finishes.” - and that he believes that “a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back”.
