The Rest Is...Huw Edwards & The BBC Presenter Scandal

This week on The Rest Is...PR, Jacki and Lyle discuss a news story which has dominated the public consciousness and generated no end of hostile speculation and rumour. Namely - the BBC Presenter Scandal, and the revelation that the individual at the heart of the story is renowned BBC News presenter Huw Edwards. The episode begins with Jacki describing a terrifying experience she went through recently, where her dog Ludo came to her aid to chase an intruder out of her house! In one of the more curious segues in The Rest Is...PR history, our hosts move from one immoral and questionable act to another, admittedly less criminal one, in the form of the Huw Edwards scandal. Jacki and Lyle outline the allegations facing Edwards, before comparing the BBC's response to that of ITV when faced with the crisis surrounding Phillip Schofield. Jacki discusses Tim Davie's performance in front of the media, and how impressively he fronted up to the crisis, before Lyle analyses the impact this situation might have, or indeed SHOULD have, on how these stories are reported in the future. Jacki and Lyle conclude with the important notion that we should always consider the unseen human impact of vilifying certain individuals, regardless of what they have done and their relative reputations, with references to another TV personality in the spotlight currently - Dan Wootton.
