SUBJECT: RE: one channel; one love

Can you book in some face-time next week so we can discuss these exciting plans? Specifically, on slide 32 of your powerpoint One Love: Programming, Synergy and Strategy 2012 you mention a complete channel rebrand (including stationery)? Are you sure this is prudent?

Whilst I admire your youthful enthusiasm over the last couple of days and your desire to get started 'with a bang', given the treasury announcements I hope you understand that we cannot be seen by our (many) enemies to be spending money on cosmetic changes of any sort.

I love the idea of various ethnically diverse 'No.1' figures of different sizes flying from all parts of the UK map to reveal a giant pulsating 3D 'ONE', inside of which will feature our key channel faces and serial drama brands morphing into one another, but perhaps this is something we could revisit in the spring when the heat is off...

PS. Will we see you tonight for a celebratory drinky-poo in Rm 3702 (outer corridor near Studio 5) in honour of your new appointment??!

"Walking down a corridor in Television Centre the
other day, I heard the familiar wrist-slashingly
boring drone of a recent Glastonbury attendee
walking behind me. The man prattled on with an
uneventful tale of 'totally hanging out' with
'Jarvis' at one of the backstage bars, spending
a few brief, yet special minutes with 'Stevie'
on Sunday, and being 'thriiiiillllled' to see
'Neil' (Tennant) to say a brief hello to before
he went onstage. So much did he drone on about
nothing at all to some poor accomplice that I
turned around, intrigued, to see who was spouting
such inconsequential bollocks.

"Step forward, Alan 'The Talent' Yentob."

The BBC Trust has given new controller Danny Cohen just over 12 months to make BBC1 early peaktime more surprising and to show more creative ambition at 9pm.

BBC1 grows share as BBC2 declines
BBC1 is the only terrestrial channel to have seen its audience share increase during peak hours for the year to the end of October – but sister channel BBC2 saw the largest proportionate drop of the five.
