BBC creative director Alan Yentob's arts profiles leave Will Young yawning, it appears. Discussing the public appetite for shows such as Pop Idol, which first catapulted Young to fame in 2002, the singer said: "People do get het up about a show like Idol. It's really entertaining. You're not watching Imagine with Alan Yentob. You're watching entertaining talent shows." Young, who speaks during a Radio 2 profile of Simon Fuller, the entrepreneur behind the Idol format, broadcast on Wednesday night, is picky about his arts presenters. He happily submitted to Yentob's rival, Melvyn Bragg, for an "intensely personal and intimate" South Bank Show special.
