The live interview, conducted by Dermot Murnaghan, ran for seven and half minutes before the DG said: “Anyway, I will go now, because I’ve got a lot to do.

“The BBC is taking action, that’s what we’re going to do.. I’ve got a job and I am going to get on with it.. Thank you Dermot!”

“Are more heads going to roll Mr. Davie?” said Dermot..

“Thank you!,” came Tim’s reply as he walked away from Sky’s camera position..
