00:00What I would say is these times are difficult for the BBC, but they get through them.

00:04We will get through it, you know, we'll get through it.

00:06And I want to mention a little bit how we do that in a second, because it's so important.

00:10And we will thrive. We will thrive.

00:13And this narrative will not just be, you know, given by our enemies.

00:17It's our narrative. We own things.

00:19And why do we have traction and ownership in that?

00:22Well, as I say, I've been here before, and the key thing is the BBC is more than one person.

00:27I'll talk about, you know, we can talk a little bit about my decision and where we're at.

00:31But it's about thousands of people, 23,000 people, and more besides making our programmes.

00:41It's all of our actions together, and us working and doing our business every single day.
