Another day in the cut-throat media world...
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Director-General Mark Thompson survived another day in the cut-throat media world - when a beard shave in aid of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need went without a hitch.
Μύ
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills was the lucky Celebrity Scissorhands contestant who had the job of making his boss even less hirsute than usual.
Μύ
The pair shared the usual salon banter, with the client telling his barber that it was currently a tough time for the industry, though he appreciated the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ had an element of privilege.
Μύ
The conversation did not stay completely high-brow though, with Mark Thompson keen not to brush his stylist up the wrong way, saying he had one of the six best broadcasting jobs in the country.
Μύ
The Director-General also revealed that Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ executive and programme maker Alan Yentob had been scheduled to go under the razor as well, but had "chickened out".
Μύ
Μύ
Mark Thompson's ordeal was seen on the Celebrity Scissorhands broadband and interactive stream last night.
Μύ
Celebrity Scissorhands is back on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three at 9pm today (Thursday).
Μύ
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need television broadcast is on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One tomorrow from 7pm to 2am, whilst over on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three the Scissorhands Academy will be hard at work getting celebrites ready for their appearances.
Μύ
Over on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2 tomorrow between 6am and 7pm is a Music Marathon for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need. Μύ
