Will Wyatt

He began work as a trainee journalist on the Sheffield Telegraph and joined BBC Radio News as a sub-editor in 1965 before moving to BBC Television, working for the Presentation Department as producer of Points of View, The Fifties and Storyteller, before joining the daily arts and media programme Late Night Line-Up.

By 1978 he was Assistant Head of the Presentation Department, whose output included The Old Grey Whistle Test, The Hollywood Greats and Barry Norman's Film... programme.

As MD he led a revival in drama – Middlemarch, Pride and Prejudice, Between the Lines, The Buddha of Suburbia, Our Friends in the North, Ballykissangel, This Life, Hamish Macbeth and Dalziel and Pascoe – and a strong programme performance in other genres – in comedy, Goodnight Sweetheart, The Wrong Trousers, Absolutely Fabulous, Men Behaving Badly, Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge, The Fast Show and The Vicar of Dibley; and in documentary series People's Century, The Death of Yugoslavia and The Nazis: A Warning from History.

In 2007 he produced the Wyatt Report, an investigation into clips from Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work being shown to journalists which apparently showed the Queen storming out of a session with American photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The BBC subsequently admitted that the scenes used in the trailer had been edited out of sequence,[3] leading to the resignation of RDF's Chief Creative Officer Stephen Lambert, BBC One Controller Peter Fincham and Fincham's Head of Publicity, Jane Fletcher, following the report's publication on 5 October.

[4] Wyatt was a director of Coral Eurobet from 2001–3 and also served on the British Horseracing Board's commission into the conditions of stable and stud staff.
