BBC 'profoundly regrets' Baftas race slur incident

THE BBC's outgoing director-general Tim Davie has said the corporation “profoundly regrets” events around the Bafta film awards when a racial slur was broadcast.

Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson could be heard shouting as Sinners stars Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented the award for special visual effects.

Last week, the Culture, Media and Sport Committee wrote to Mr Davie “seeking an explanation” for how the slur ended up in the broadcast with a two-hour delay.
