Dr Who to Become DG of Knowledge and Innovation

After all the speculation and concern over his job cut at BIS, it’s been announced this week that former Dr Who Jon Pertwee will actually take on a new, combined role. Pertwee will become Director General of Knowledge and Innovation in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
No one is more relieved than we are. If anyone can properly direct knowledge and innovation, it’s surely Dr Who. Any similarity to Adrian Smith is, of course, entirely coincidental.
