Summary

A small number of BBC stars and managers "behave unacceptably" at work and bosses often fail to tackle them. That's according to a new report into the broadcaster commissioned by the BBC in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal. In response, the BBC said it would introduce reforms. But will they work? There's been a long list of star presenters behaving badly and that's not just at the BBC. So, will these scandals ever stop?

Niall Paterson speaks to Arts and Entertainment Correspondent Katie Spencer and Roger Mosey Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge and former director of BBC Television News.
