She commences by giving context to the disclosed document prepared by Michael Prescott and released in a national newspaper. "I don't want the BBC leaning in any particular direction, I simply desire it straight, impartial and equitable," he states. In response to a query whether he considers the BBC is structurally prejudiced, Prescott replies: "No I don't. To be clear, tons of stuff the BBC produces is exceptional - including informative and fictional shows." Nevertheless, he states: "There exists real work that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation." Another former external British Broadcasting Corporation consultant examined by the committee, Caroline Daniel, remarks she regards the BBC very seriously and that it maintains a "continuous process and lively discussion" across dynamic and complex topics. "Whether the BBC was willing to conduct a genuine dialogue and debate and implement changes?" she asks herself. "From my perspective, yes they were."
