We open with queries from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, that oversees the panel.
She opens by giving background to the leaked memo prepared by Michael Prescott and released in a daily publication.
"I do not desire the BBC leaning in any particular direction, I just want it neutral, impartial and just," he says.
When asked if he thinks the BBC is systematically partial, Prescott replies: "No I don't. It is important to note, numerous aspects the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is top-tier - both documentary and entertainment content."
However, he continues: "There is substantial tasks that must be undertaken at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser BBC adviser questioned by the panel, Caroline Daniel, says she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it has a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" across evolving and intricate topics.
"Did the BBC willing to engage in a thorough discussion and argument and take action?" she questions. "In my view, indeed, they were."
