Tim Davie today, writing to the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) Committee Chairman Caroline Dinenage:
“I’d like to make clear: although the racial slur was symptomatic of a disability and an involuntary tic, it should never have been broadcast. It was a genuine mistake, and we take full responsibility for our error.”
On why the slur ever made it to broadcast, given the two-hour tape delay:
“…initial evidence gathering has found that no-one in the on-site broadcast truck heard this when they were watching the live feed.”
That’s at least one more calamity for Davie to apologise for before standing down as Director-General next month. Will it be the last? There’s still plenty of time…
