At VLV’s Autumn Conference in 2009, Mark Thompson, BBC Director-General, told us of the duty the Corporation had to stand up for creative freedom and ambition. After a virtual tsunami of reality and celebrity-dominated programming, VLV feels it is important to learn more about these BBC ambitions, so we are pleased that in the main morning session, Alan Yentob, the BBC’s Creative Director with responsibility for developing talent across all the BBC’s services, will explain how the BBC is responding to this aspiration. He is likely to face Keynote speakers: Alan Yentob (right) ‘the creative some tough questions. spirit of the BBC’ — and Lord Melvyn Bragg, who sees Creative issues continue to be the concern of Melvyn VLV as ‘an invaluable independent watchdog’.
