The General-Director for life addressing the masses from Televsion Centre |
Addressing the masses from a balcony at Television Centre and broadcast on all BBC channels, Anthony Mountfichet said that the days of "left-wing bias, bland programming and overpriced 'talent' is a thing of the past".

Flanked by loyalists Basil Brush, Terry Wogan and the Doctor, General-Director Mountfichet pointed skyward as director-general Mark Thompson, chairman of the BBC Trust Sir Michael Lyons and camp waste of space Graham Norton, were flung from the BBC newscopter to their deaths in the Blue Peter garden.
"Hahahahaha, boom boom!" cheered Mr Brush as the former executives and television entity hit the ground.
Eg, BBC
General-Director Mountfichet was hired in 2003 following the Andrew Gilligan scandal, prompting a reorganisation of the BBC's governance. While he has been outspoken in the past on several issues, the coup has taken most observers by surprise.
Acting on the night of Friday February 8th, the General-Director had his loyalists swoop in during a function at Television Centre. Within hours most other BBC centres were taken over by loyalists and the few he were trusted with the plot.
By Saturday morning, most parts of the corporation had declared their loyalty to the new leadership, including BBC News, although parts of Radio Norwich are holding out, while Sir David Attenborough is said to be leading the resistance from the natural history unit.

However, General-Director Anthony Mountfichet said that these were "minor pockets of dissent" that would be "crushed swiftly".
"For too long, the BBC has stood for all that is against order and progress. Let today be a new day, a new start for the corporation! Stay tuned, that's an order!" he added.
