BBC Director General Tim Davie has discussed how “enormous decisions” had to be made following the death of Queen Elizabeth II as he chaired a working group featuring senior broadcasting bosses. He also rejected the notion outright that there is a “major short term crisis” in terms of the number of people watching the BBC.
Davie gave RTS London attendees an insight into the days immediately following the death two-and-a-half weeks ago and said he learned from past events about how to handle the situation.
The BBC uprooted its schedules for the 10 days of mourning following Queen Elizabeth II’s death, with shows such as Strictly Come Dancing pushed back.
“We had enormous decisions to make, thinking about Strictly and other big shows,” he added. “We knew we had to do this right and that was about flawless rehearsal.”
Davie, who chaired a working group featuring senior broadcasting bosses, said the trickiest decision was around Last Night at the Proms, which was cancelled across the first weekend. He put the decision partly down to a lack of available broadcast trucks, and the fact the Premier League had just been cancelled.
Davie praised the “broad squad” of presenters who oversaw the BBC’s roundly-praised coverage of the mourning period, and schedules have swiftly returned to normal.
