I have read Greg Dykes book....I think he should now be heading the Olympic Team as Chief Executive. He has the golden touch. He could also turn the fortunes of Eurotunnel around!

I've added a comparison with the fall of Alasdair Milne, since that seemed as relevant to the political control of the BBC as the resignation of Hugh Greene.

Maybe it's me but this article sure seems short of some necessary sources. For example, I would think that some source should be used for the statement that the government is trying to kill the reporter. Also, the statement about his book being poorly reviewed should be supported. There are other instances, but these are starters.Dawgknot 22:22, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I haven't written anything on this page but for the "kill" thing - [1]. Problem is that the link is newer than the article entry, and most entries are very similarly worded to wikipedia - who said Wikipedia couldn't "create" the truth?? :). Off to bed - soz can't help any more -- Tomhab 22:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Personality Test" appearance

Dyke appeared today on Radio 4's "The Personality Test". Someone may want to review this episode for relevant personal data before it disappears from the "Listen Again" page. (Factoid: his car number plate is MI6 WMD.) 121a0012 04:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tone of this article

The section concerning Dyke's involvement with the Hutton Enquiry seems a little sparse, considering this is one of his career "highlights". It, and particularly the quotation from the staff email, seems to suggest Dyke accepts a good deal more culpability than was actually the case. I would suggest there is a contextual bias here.
