Government selects panel to review the future of the BBC

The government has set up an advisory panel to carry out a fundamental review of the BBC. Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has appointed eight people to work on the renewal of the BBC's royal charter - which sets out the corporation's remit.

The current BBC charter is set to expire at the end of 2016.
