We open with inquiries from Conservative lawmaker the panel's head, that leads the committee.
She commences by giving context to the disclosed document authored by Michael Prescott and printed in a daily publication.
"I don't want the BBC slanting in any particular direction, I simply desire it balanced, unbiased and fair," he states.
In response to a query if he thinks the BBC is institutionally biased, the adviser replies: "No I don't. Let's be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is world class - both documentary and entertainment content."
Nevertheless, he states: "There is significant effort that requires attention at the BBC."
The second previous consultant British Broadcasting Corporation adviser interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she takes the BBC very seriously and that it has a "ongoing system and active debate" on evolving and intricate topics.
"Whether the BBC was ready to engage in a proper dialogue and exchange and act accordingly?" she questions. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
