Is it a coincidence that the two highest-paid presenters on BBC, Gary Lineker and Zoë Ball, are both to leave the BBC?

Is the BBC listening to the concerns of licence-payers?

I don’t think Zoe meant us to take it literally when she said she’d now be able ‘ to do the school run’. We tend to think our children are more independent by their teenage years but many of us find they need even more support during the transition to adulthood years.
Perhaps looking back Zoe regrets not being there as much as we would have liked for her son and doesn’t want to make the same mistake with her teenage daughter. Losing her mother and the other events that have happened may have brought this into perspective.

You're right Frogs, not to be taken literally. A bit like Starmer saying he'd be home every Friday after 6 pm to spend time with family!!
