She opens by giving context to the disclosed memo prepared by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper. "I don't want the BBC slanting toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it balanced, unbiased and fair," he says. Upon being questioned whether he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, Prescott responds: "No I don't. It is important to note, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation creates is top-tier - encompassing documentary and entertainment programming." However, he continues: "There remains substantial tasks that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation." A further former external BBC consultant interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she takes the BBC extremely earnestly and that it has a "ongoing system and active debate" on evolving and intricate topics. "Whether the BBC was ready to conduct a thorough discussion and exchange and take action?" she asks herself. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
