Former BBC executive & TV presenter Alan Yentob died at age 78.
What are your memories of Alan Yentob?
The first time I came across him was during BBC comedy series W1A where he was arm wrestling with Salman Rushdie.

A new David Attenborough documentary is always an event, but I think that Ocean really is something innovative and different. I've seen some clips, and it tells a critical & unseen story (plus spectacular photography, of course). It'll be in cinemas from May 8th. Do go!

Pun my word, the BBCR4 Today team have been doing their bit (and some really shouldn't have bothered, Nick...) for #UKPunDay. It was claimed that punning goes right back to the ancient Egyptians.

And that she's been styled the "Bishop of Negativity". Lone voice of faithful dissidence. Nothing changes.
Radio 4 on the other site have shared a clip of the Bishop of Newcastle being interviewed on Today. It ends with the really sad comment that while she’s had hundreds of letters of support, when she has seen other bishops recently they have avoided speaking to her.
