When discussing possible solutions, Little identified Lee Anderson, a Conservative MP, and Trevor Phillips, a former head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, as potential reform-minded leaders. However, he expressed pessimism about whether the BBC's ingrained culture could be effectively changed.
