High jinks and horseplay in the offices of The Nine O’Clock News!
Mark Thompson — he added the ‘p’ by deed poll — was new! fresh! young! at the age of thirty.
“What some people don’t realise, yeah,” he sniggers, “is that it’s not good because it hurts. It’s good because it looks like it’s good because it hurts. It was hugely misinterpreted.”
I paraphrased that obviously.
He also rode around his office in a child’s tricycle, ironically exclaiming things like, “We shouldn’t buy ’24′ because it’s too risky”, “There’s no need for a Cbeebies channel” and, most memorably of all, “One day I’ll be DG you know!”
Ahem.
