Auntie has decided she wants a TV arts editor to stand alongside her business, economics and sports editors. No idea who’s in for it, but some obvious names will pop up – arts correspondent Razia Iqbal, of course, Nick Higham no doubt, and probably the enthusiastic Front Row anchorman John Wilson. Rumour is, though, that she wants a big name from outside the Beeb, the Guardian’s Charlotte Higgins, say, but who would want it? Another of Auntie’s underlings tells me they’d be on a hiding to nothing, ‘trailing all over the world looking for stories and then having to compete with the likes of Peston for space on Ten to get them on air – drive you bonkers’.
