Goodnight and thanks for watching

Now that the BBC Trust has decided not to publish celebrity salaries and to pursue presenter talent by organic growth rather than by the cheque book, does this mean there will soon be a talent show contest to find new faces? An X Factor-style show to find the next Ant and Dec?

Possible titles might include: Hello, Good Evening and Welcome, the old David Frost opener; Getting to Know You, an oblique reference to the Alan Partridge show via The King and I; or even Yo, People, for Generation Y.

Everything would depend on the demographics, but this will happen. You saw it here first.
