Heggessey quits

Hardly a new experience for Lorraine though - she has a strong track record in popular programme making - having spent a lot of her career as a producer, series producer, executive producer or head of programme making dept.

Yes, yes YESSSSS, woo, time for the globe to come back, how about getting rid of OFAH.... I hate that programe, lets hope we will see some better programming

I'm preying that the dancer idents will be withdrawn soon. What BBC1 needs is a 21st century globe, much more advanced than the 1985 COW or the 1991 laserdisc "1".

In the unlikely event that the next BBC1 controller is reading this, whoever it will be, please give us our beloved clock back. Please!

yes but the globe is now the logo for BBC News not BBC One

But BBC News 1993 - 1999 featured a large globe in it's titles, at the same time as BBC 1 using the globe as it's logo.

Tsk!

A perfectly good waste of humour then.

Not one comment. *sigh*

And even before that, BBC News used globes/world maps in its graphics.

This is the best news I've heard so far this month. Let's hope she takes her tacky idents with her.

Well, I wouldn't celebrate too long and hard - it's considered as a very good career move for rising BBC executives to take a job outside the Corporation, in order to gain commercial-sector experience, before returning to a more senior BBC job a couple of years or so down the line (as did Mark Thompson, to name an obvious example). So I'm sure 'Heggessey' will be back, and with even more power and influence.

BBC1 has to change when the new controller comes in because Heggessey has made such a balls of the channel.
