Recording my final edition of the Friday Today in Parliament - after 20 years. I’m still reporting for another week, but then it’s goodbye to the fantastic TiP team.

In 1967 John Reith, the first ever Director General of the BBC, spoke to Malcolm Muggeridge about the "BBC accent". Reith defended his decision to instruct BBC broadcasters to speak in a rather artificial manner, as opposed to their own local dialects. #BBC100
