I'm sure the timing is purely co-incidental but I guess the £150k pa he'll still be getting from the licence payer will compensate for any sadness...

And the rest:

ALAN Yentob quit his £183,500 job as BBC creative director yesterday — but will still trouser £366,600 a year in pay and pension from the corporation.

He left over his role as chairman of the Kids Company charity, which collapsed in chaos in August.

He was cleared of meddling in the BBC’s coverage of the fiasco after ringing the editor of Newsnight and standing in a Radio 4 studio as Kids Company boss Camila Batmanghelidjh was being interviewed.

He will continue as host of BBC1 arts show Imagine, for which he is paid £150,000, and as chairman of BBC Films.

And his £6.5million pension pot, one of the largest in the public sector, is thought to be worth £216,600 a year.

The BBC yesterday refused to say whether it will still pay into the pot.
