The least edifying item of this morning’s news was the spectacle of BBC1’s controller, Peter Fincham, executing multiple gyrations and pirouettes in his efforts to explain why he need not resign after the admission that his channel had screened a doctored report of the Queen’s photo session with Annie Leibovitz, which appeared to show her Majesty storming off in a huff.The Beeb has long been suspected of covert anti-royalism, but this is perhaps the most glaring evidence yet that such sentiment exists within the corporation. If Mr Fincham wanted to dispel that impression, he would fall on his sword immediately.
