She initiates by offering context to the leaked memo prepared by Michael Prescott and published in a daily publication. "I don't want the BBC tilting toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it balanced, fair and equitable," he declares. Upon being questioned if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, the adviser responds: "No I don't. Let's be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is exceptional - both factual and fictional programming." However, he continues: "There remains substantial tasks that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation." A further previous consultant BBC specialist examined by the committee, Caroline Daniel, says she regards the BBC very seriously and that it operates a "continuous process and lively discussion" on evolving and intricate subjects. "Whether the BBC was willing to have a genuine conversation and debate and implement changes?" she questions. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
