The gloves are off for Simon Mayo who has slammed the BBC as ‘soul destroying’ after he quit the corporation and took up a new job at Sony.
The 63-year-old radio host famously presented a film review show at the BBC via various channels for two decades before he dropped out, or was pushed out, of working with the network and the film-review show was officially cancelled in March.
He and co-host Mark Kermode, 58, were then snapped up by Sony who promised to support their work like never before in a deal that will see them broadcast their film reviews in a twice-weekly podcast.
