Observer | BBC chief sees future in computer generation |
 | | Jana Bennett, the BBC's 'director of vision', confesses she was 'terrified' about taking part, but at least her side won, beating a team of men headed by former BBC1 controller Peter Salmon. |
 | | While no conversation with Bennett - or any TV executive - could be conducted now without numerous references to 'platforms', 'user-generated content' or 'new media', she is keen to stress that none of that matters unless the BBC continues to make programmes such as the Emmy-nominated Bleak House and Extras. |
 | | Bennett was in a band at Oxford, and colleagues describe her as young at heart, although like most BBC executives, she has a tendency to spout management speak at times. |
