U.K. public broadcaster Channel 4 has rung in management structure changes as the organization prepares for its Future4 strategy that was revealed in November.

M stopped pacing the carpet and looked out through his bullet-proof window. The bleak vista made the head of the Secret Intelligence Service even gloomier. A bitter drizzle was falling on the grey Thames. He buzzed his secretary. "Miss Moneypenny, any indication when 007 will finally deign to put in an appearance?"
Before she could reply, Bond was standing beside her desk. "James," she gasped. "The old man is beside himself. Where have you been?"
007 smoothly responded: "Signal failure at Cockfosters." He brushed at his crumpled jacket. "Christ, how can people stand the underground? Get on to Q would you? Ask him when the new Aston will be ready."
"For you James, anything," melted Moneypenny. "You'd better go straight in. There's a big flap about something."
