TV's McGovern calls BBC 'racist'

He's not the only one.

"In March, Jonathan Ross said during his live Radio 2 show that too many black people at the BBC were in low-paid jobs.

"How many black people have they got working on proper shows there?," he said at the time.

"You know the BBC still haven't really come up to speed. I mean they are trying, God bless them.

"Most of the guys you see there are either working on the door, carrying a cloth in there and cleaning up. We haven't really made the effort yet."

In 2001, after being appointed director general of the BBC, Greg Dyke accused the corporation of being "hideously white"."
