Bennett: Fincham "extremely good controller"

BBC director of vision Jana Bennett has reiterated her support for BBC One controller Peter Fincham.

Speaking on a panel examining the issue of trust in television, Bennett told moderator and Radio 5 Live Breakfast host Nicky Campbell that Fincham is an "extremely good controller of BBC One."

Campbell asked her how angry she was with Fincham over the debacle involving a promo that appeared to show the Queen storming out of a photo shoot - and whether reports that she had shouted at him were true. Bennett largely refused to answer Campbell's questions on the basis that doing so would "pre-empt" the findings of an independent report into how the problem occurred, but denied ever shouting at Fincham.

She added that "anger isn't the point", and said she was "disturbed" by the incident.
