“How Does He Get Special Treatment?” | BBC Scrutinised Over Huw Edwards Case

BBC director-general Tim Davie will face tough questions from Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy about what the corporation knew about Huw Edwards’s case after the veteran broadcaster admitted to making indecent images of children. The corporation has said it knew of the veteran broadcaster’s arrest on “suspicion of serious offences” in November, but continued employing him until April. Questions will surely be raised about why he continued to receive his large salary – as the highest paid newsreader at the corporation – for five months after his arrest on charges of making indecent photographs of children. Talk’s Mike Graham is joined by political commentator Benedict Spence to discuss BBC’s handling of the case. Benedict: “If you’re the guy at the very top you can get away with a pattern of behaviour and no one will say anything.” Click here for more from Talk If you need any help visit: #huwedwards #bbc #news
