The new regime at the BBC began the battle to reunite the corporation's shocked and angry staff yesterday as it became clear that the former director general, Greg Dyke, did not intend to go quietly.
Mr Dyke stepped up his attack on the Hutton report, described how the BBC governors had forced him out and accused the government of "systematic bullying" and "intimidation" during the Iraq war. He is reportedly considering hiring lawyers with a view to seeking a judicial review of the Hutton inquiry, according to today's Times.
Mr Dyke released a letter he had written to Tony Blair, who had complained to him about the BBC's war coverage, to illustrate the scale of the pressure from No 10 during the war. He told Sir David Frost: "It's perfectly valid for the government to try to pressurise us and it's perfectly valid for us to tell them where to get off."
