BBC1 controller Peter Fincham has said he will not resign over the row concerning the corporation's Queen documentary. And why should he? Fincham appearing on the BBC's Breakfast programme this morning, said that he didn't think he should resign, adding that he had received a message of support from BBC director general Mark Thompson.

So what's the problem here? Well it all started when, in a briefing to journalists on Wednesday to unveil the BBC's Autumn schedule, Fincham showed footage from an imminent documentary which seemed to suggest the Queen had walked out (or stormed out if your into that sensationalist stuff) of a photo shoot with photographer Annie Lebowitz.

He said showing the footage, which had misrepresented the sequence of events, was a regrettable "human error". The footage was a trailer for a documentary, A Year With The Queen, to be shown later this year.

"It is a mistake that was made for which, as director of the channel, I take responsibility...If somebody above me - the director general of the BBC Mark Thompson - comes and says 'you should resign', then I will of course resign," Fincham said. "But... I think that's disproportionate and I hope this is something we can move on from," he added.

Firstly, I've seen the footage, and Her Madge did act stroppily when asked a perfectly reasonable question, and secondly, it must be nigh on impossible to storm out of a room when you've got some lackey clinging onto your robes. "Come on Bertie! We're storming out of here!"

Anyways, why should someone resign because they've made The Queen look a bit daft. I mean, I've always thought that The Queen looked daft anyway. She's cigar shaped for a start... and wearing all those jewels and hanging around with rent-a-gob Phil, it's hard to take her seriously. So bully for the Beeb. Apart from a problem with editing, I think they showed Liz' to be a human who occasionally has a go at people. Now, I've got to go... there's two blokes here to take me to the tower...[Mof Gimmers]
