Mark Thompson on 6 Music: 'it's a mega-blink!'

Just when BBC director general Mark Thompson thought his Newsnight encounter with Jeremy Paxman couldn't get any worse ... it does. A BBC 6 Music fan has combined the best bits of Thommo's interview, such as they were, with clips from Armando Iannucci's The Thick Of It . So not only has he got Paxo biting his proverbial, he's got Malcolm Tucker giving him both barrels from home. With The Thick Of It an example of BBC comedy at its best, we're sure Thommo will be delighted. Let's hope he enjoyed it more than Adam Buxton's joke on Channel 4 News , eh?
