The BBC has given detailed coverage in its evening news about its former employee Stuart Hall. Hall was in Court today and has admitted indecently assaulting 13 girls.
Hall is 83, articulate and urbane, with an apparent aura of gravitas. The profile is familiar.
It would be interesting to study in detail how the BBC has reacted to Hall, who was a prominent employee of the Corporation, and how the Catholic Church makes public comment on its priests, who have been found guilty or who have admitted indecently assaulting minors.
It is also worth noting that back in the 1960s and '70s the BBC was an environment that was male dominated.
