doubtless he'd have been overjoyed to see trenton oldfield in the river again. but he's just an outward manifestation of the BBC's need to be edgy in everything it does. expect no apology - this coverage demonstrates the policy is succeeding, so expect more to come.

just wonder who the BBC will get to comment on the 50th anniversary of Aberfan in October.
