The BBC vs. Lineker: They think it’s all over ... it isn’t
Description
Gary Lineker will be back on air this weekend.
And BBC Director General Tim Davie has apologised to viewers for the weekend's schedule disruptions.
They'd like this row to go away now.
Except it won't.
Where does it leave the BBC Chair and his Tory donations and friendships? Where does it leave the social media activities of other high profile talent? And what does impartiality mean - if it's being dictated by the government?
We speak to Armando Iannucci - who coined the phrase omnishambles a decade ago...
And we look at the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and ask if over the weekend we got close to another financial crash.
