Now it could be that the BBC bring him back next year to carry on being HoD but as a more expensive Exec Producer; or if they don't have the money for that it could well be that we have a new HoD taking over.I'm not sure whether that's Andrew Cartmell or Lee Smithurst but I think new blood is required across the board. My understanding from a podcast interview with Lee at Christmas is that Lee did a lot of the creative stuff and was across the artist and act and oversaw our actual entry, but Andrew was across the coverage.
It's fair to say the entry fell short but whilst the BBC One programme was good, the BBC Four coverage was once again at best questionable. The LoD parody and dodgy Zoom chats were a new low point. Who is ultimately deciding "we're going to cut away from the world feed and do our own content?"
The fact the semis aren't on at least BBC Two is itself a joke, mind you. Personally I'd like them on BBC One - maybe if Andy Murray commentated it would happen...
