Can Ball’s TV talent match his arrogance?Someone in the ITV scheduling department must have a sense of humour. This afternoon’s movie is Goldfinger, a Bond film whose villain is a ruthless man with a penchant for gold bullion. It’s hard to miss the similarities with the turmoil at the top of the struggling broadcaster, where Tony Ball, a television executive with a reputation for no-nonsense management, is about to take over — if he can persuade the board to meet his demands for a stonking pay package.

Reichmann, a Canadian property entrepreneur, has sold his stake to Songbird, the majority owner of Canary Wharf. The moves come just weeks after Songbird agreed an £825m refinancing through an emergency rights issue backed by Qatar Holding, China Investment Corporation and Morgan Stanley’s real estate funds. Reichmann’s shares were held through Germany’s Commerzbank. The deal increases Songbird’s stake to 69.3%. Songbird Estates’ wholly owned subsidiary, Songbird Finance, said last week that it had agreed to purchase 54m shares in Canary Wharf from Commerzbank for £112.5m. In the 1980s, through his company Olympia & York, Reichmann became one of the world’s foremost developers.
