Former BBC consultants testifying in front of Members of Parliament

We begin with queries from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, who oversees the group.

She opens by providing background to the unauthorized memo prepared by Michael Prescott and printed in the Telegraph.

"I don't want the BBC slanting in any particular direction, My only wish is for it neutral, unbiased and just," he says.

In response to a query whether he thinks the BBC is systematically partial, the adviser responds: "Absolutely not. It is important to note, tons of stuff the BBC does is top-tier - including factual and non-factual programming."

Nevertheless, he states: "There exists substantial tasks that requires attention at the British Broadcasting Corporation."

Another previous consultant British Broadcasting Corporation consultant interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, says she views the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it has a "continuous process and lively discussion" on dynamic and complex topics.

"Did the BBC ready to conduct a genuine discussion and argument and act accordingly?" she asks herself. "As I see it, affirmative, they were."
