BBC Director General Greg Dyke's decision today to step down follows Chairman Gavyn Davies' resignation on Wednesday, shortly after Lord Hutton's report on “the Kelly Affair” was published.

The pair quit after the most serious claims in Andrew Gilligan's BBC's reports were branded "unfounded". Lord Hutton criticized "defective" BBC editorial controls over defense correspondent Andrew Gilligan's broadcasts on the Today program

His report cleared the government of "sexing up" its Iraq weapons dossier with unreliable intelligence.

For a BBC booster such as I, this is a bit of a bad scene. How are the other Pixies who rely on the Beeb dealing with this? Big deal? No big deal?
