In this sharp, revealing and unfiltered interview, Camilla Tominey sits down with Andrew Gold to explain why Nick Robinson has got it completely wrong about the BBC — and why the public is no longer buying the corporation’s carefully crafted image. As one of Britain’s most outspoken political journalists, Camilla breaks down the myths, the messaging, and the institutional blind spots that she says Robinson and others inside the BBC refuse to confront.


Camilla argues that the BBC is facing a crisis of credibility — one far bigger than the political class or media insiders want to admit. While Nick Robinson publicly defends the corporation as balanced, resilient and trusted, Camilla says he’s ignoring the internal culture battles, ideological drift and collapsing public confidence that are now impossible to hide.


In this wide-ranging conversation, she explains:


Why Nick Robinson’s defence of the BBC doesn’t match reality


How internal bias, groupthink and fear of backlash shape editorial decisions


Why the corporation has lost touch with large parts of the British public


The behind-the-scenes pressure that influences coverage of politics, culture and national identity


How scandals, leaks and leadership failures have shattered trust from within


Why change is now unavoidable, even for those loyal to the BBC brand


Camilla and Andrew dive into the deeper question: What should the BBC be in 2025 and beyond? Camilla argues that pretending everything is fine — as Robinson often insists — only accelerates the decline. Instead, she calls for radical honesty about what the BBC gets wrong, who it’s failing to reach, and how the organisation can rebuild legitimacy before it’s too late.


This conversation isn’t about Right vs Left — it’s about whether Britain’s public broadcaster understands the country it claims to represent. Camilla pulls no punches, offering insider insight into newsroom politics, editorial choke points and a cultural shift that senior figures, she says, are still in denial about.


Whether you love the BBC, distrust it, or feel it no longer reflects you, this is a must-watch breakdown of what’s really happening behind the scenes — and why Nick Robinson, according to Camilla, has badly misread the moment.
