We open with inquiries from Conservative MP the committee chair, that oversees the panel.
She opens by providing background to the leaked memo written by Michael Prescott and printed in a national newspaper.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting this way or that way, My only wish is for it straight, unbiased and just," he says.
When asked if he thinks the BBC is systematically partial, the adviser replies: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, tons of stuff the BBC does is exceptional - including factual and non-factual shows."
But he adds: "There is real work that needs to be done at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, remarks she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it maintains a "persistent practice and vigorous discourse" regarding fluid and multifaceted issues.
"Did the BBC ready to conduct a proper dialogue and argument and take action?" she questions. "From my perspective, indeed, they were."
