The BBC breached its own editorial rules when it didn’t explain that a 13-year-old, used to narrate a documentary about Gaza was, in fact, the son of a Hamas official.

A review has found that the independent production company, Hoyo Films, bears most of the responsibility for what happened – but that BBC bosses should have had more oversight of the film.

The corporation says it is taking action but, so far, nobody has lost their job. However, it is creating a new management role called ‘Director of News Documentaries’ as a result of the review.

Niall Paterson speaks to correspondent Katie Spencer about the BBC’s response – and former culture secretary John Whittingdale tells the podcast that he’s concerned the corporation doesn’t seem to learn from its mistakes.
