With the London Olympics of 2012 now in the rearview mirror, Ian Fletcher starts the next chapter of his life as the head of values for the BBC. His task: to clarify and define the core purpose of the network across all of its functions and to position it for the future. While Fletcher's job is to think `big' thoughts he quickly realises that not only does he not have time to think `big' thoughts, but he doesn't have time to think any thoughts at all while he prepares BBC for its upcoming licence fee renegotiation and charter renewal. `W1A' is a follow-up to `Twenty Twelve', which followed Fletcher as he was tasked with organising the 2012 Games.
