YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWho is Sir Robbie Gibb and is he the most influential figure at the BBC?
In a week marred by controversy, the organisation has seen the departure of two senior figures and has made an apology to the US president over an edited clip of a speech to his followers on 6 January.
There are rumours that the BBC's director general and chief executive were brought down as part of an "inside job" centred around one man – Sir Robbie – a non-executive director at the BBC.
However, a friend of Sir Robbie has hit back at such suggestions, describing them to Deadline as "absolute nonsense".
In this episode, Niall is joined by Jake Kanter, the international investigations editor at Deadline to discuss Mr Gibb’s role at the BBC and why it is seen as controversial.
