On Radio 4 they asked Grade if he had any plans about Dr Who. He said that as long as he didn't have to watch it, they could do what they want. I consider that a good thing.
And Grade was a better choice than anyone else. Of coure, if he had real balls, he'd appoint Greg Dyke as the new DG again. Wouldn't that piss off the government.....
But he won't, nor will he do anything that would upset the civil service.
Grade is probably the best choice given the limited selection,(though the current head of the BBFC seems like a good choice tot ake over from Grade) but I don't expect anything radical or exciting to come out Grade's reign, because he's got no spine.
