Stuart Murphy interview

Just finished the session with BBC Three controller Stuart Murphy. Some highlights:
- Bringing forward the channel's start time (currently 7pm) is to be the "next thing" on his list, but ultimately the decision will lie with culture secretary Tessa Jowell. Although he refused to comment on potential scheduling ideas, he admitted: "I think there's definitely a scope for pre-watershed drama."
- The 7pm news bulletin is undergoing a "consultation". "I love it as a news programme," he said, "but we've got to be realistic on the environment we're in."
- On the Little Britain-Radio 4 row: "I always said it was a Radio 4 show. I was slighlty misquoted."
Full news report on DS tomorrow.

I wonder if he was questioned or commented on the DOG row? Hard to see how the "research" stacks up.
