Reading between the lines IOM Newspapers seems to have a bit of an issue with Jez’s new series. Even to the point of pointing out that most of it was filmed while he has actually contracted to be Deputy Director of Ronaldsway.

Wasn't there some clarification that he was doing this in his own time, weekends  holidays, lunchtimes?

Yup, must have been a rush though for his African segments in his lunchtime !

I honestly think his appointment was one of " worth x thousands of publicity", unfortunately whoever appointed him forgot he was of no other use whatsoever and ended up in charge !

It’s great that you have Loganair based on island as an option isn’t it allowing you to switch so easily . Remember that when you post as you have done recently how wonderful EasyJet are and how bad you think Loganair are ! 

Yes, it's great Alex.

Did we get any publicity?  Tempted to watch the series to see what he says about the IOM.

Maybe not if his Tweeting is anything to go by?

I'm not sure who that came from and it's clearly implausible.  It takes a lot of time to make factual television - especially with a lot of travelling involved - and judging from his twitter a lot of the filming was done after Reynolds left and he was nominally in charge. They then had to draft in a retiree - who seems to have quite quickly gone off sick.  So the place really did have no one in charge - though those working there were presumably only too glad to have Spake out from under their feet.

This behaviour may have finally been the reason they needed to ease him out, though he clearly was an embarrassment from appointment.  As was pointed out at the time he appeared to have no qualifications or experience and you now suspect that he was only there with Reynolds' backing, as she didn't want to recruit someone better qualified or more competent as a Deputy.  As usual Treasury/Cabinet Office/HR should have stopped it but didn't.
