We start with questions from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, that oversees the group.
She initiates by providing background to the unauthorized memo authored by Michael Prescott and printed in a daily publication.
"I don't want the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning this way or that way, I simply desire it balanced, impartial and fair," he states.
In response to a query whether he considers the BBC is institutionally biased, the adviser answers: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, a great deal the BBC produces is world class - both documentary and entertainment shows."
However, he continues: "There remains substantial tasks that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
A further ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist examined by the committee, Caroline Daniel, says she views the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it maintains a "continuous process and active debate" regarding fluid and multifaceted topics.
"Whether the BBC was prepared to engage in a genuine discussion and debate and implement changes?" she reflects. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
