WV has appointed a new chairman. So what's the firm doing to put things right? Dr Colin Brown from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in Britain tells us about the scale of the company's challenges.

Kate Kinninmont is chief executive of Women in Film and Television, which campaigns to redress the balance.
