 Mr Dyke is said to be very keen on taking part in the play |
Former BBC director general Greg Dyke is to "tread the boards" for the first time in a murder mystery play on BBC Radio Devon. The play, to be broadcast on 15 December, is set in 1952 but Mr Dyke's role has not yet been revealed.
Mr Dyke was in charge of the BBC from 2000 until January this year.
He was forced to resign after the Hutton report concluded the BBC had been wrong to claim the government "sexed up" the Iraq weapons dossier.
