Is ex-Google boss Matt Brittin the right person to steer the BBC?

BBC media editor Katie Razzall says the former Google exec has been chosen for his insider knowledge of big tech.

Actually, there are only 6 bananas in each bunch. So I had *42* bananas. If thatโ€™s not a sign from the gods, I donโ€™t know what is! ๐Ÿ™Œ
