As the Covid Inquiry finds there was no 'protective ring' around care homes whatever ministers claimed, the film we made for @BBCNewsnight back then showed how the virus spread through a chain of care homes. The charity MHA opened its books and doors to us youtube.com/watch?v=bS-6_phu…
We charted - early on - how unprotected they felt and how devastating the consequences were. Listening to the stories and coverage today, I'm thinking of the people they lost and wishing staff and survivors well after the horrors of that time. @londonluke @sallyches best team

The British Museum has announced changes to how visitors see the Bayuex Tapestry exhibition after some ticket holders were turned away when the museum closed early last week.
@katierazz presses museum director Nicholas Cullinan on offering compensation to those turned away.
RIP Dame Esther Rantzen, a trailblazer in the golden age of TV, who could have been the 1st female Controller @BBCOne but chose to stick with That's Life, the show that combined campaigning journalism, wonky vegetables & the dog that said sausages

How can a crate coming out of a lorry feel so momentous? When it's a nearly 1000-year old artwork returning to the UK for the first time since it was likely made here in the 11th century, soon after the Normans conquered England & changed a nation #bayeux

Such a thrill to share my Inheritance Tracks @BBCRadio4 The people who died in 2004 tsunami when we were so lucky to be protected by a spit of land will always be in my heart. ‘How can you grow old’ is a line in the Delays song I chose. They didn’t get to
