First the Ross and Brand thing.

Now 500 complaints about Top Gear and Grade saying the F Word (not the show) should be more thought about on ITV.

Salaries getting looked at by politicians.

Ross and Brand have a lot to answer for:p

Lets hope this does not lead to a clincal BBC and dull broadcasting.

I'll do you a deal - if you say why you want these programmes, I'll say why I don't.

As for the BBC - Ross/Brand/etc. picked on one person and made a fool of them, then ignored their request not to broadcast the result. They got a clear message that even if you're a 'star player', if you break the rules, you'll be censured. Top Gear made a joke about truck driving - one which the majority of truckers appear to have actually found funny.

Yes, the BBC will change, and so it should, but hopefully just enough to draw up some clear guidelines.

Hang on where you not quite happy when Ross and Brand got hauled over the coals, because lets be honest you personally didn't like them.

You defended that action well now people have taken offence at top gear. It should be pulled from air pending an investigation.

Infact tommorow I'm going to complain, even though I turned off the TV halfway through top gear as for the first time I found it dull. I will phone up and complain about a joke I didn't even see to see if I can help make 30,000 moaners and get the show pulled.
 
I wish the BBC would just disappear and all the shows can go commercial.

It's impossible for them to please everyone and it seems they feel that's what they have to do. They should just give up.

I disagree. I find that the BBC still produces some high quality programming that no other program has supplied so far, such as Top Gear, documentaries, news etc.

Plus, there aren't any adverts :D

Ie, full of crappy programs with about 5 epidodes of something decent like planet earth per year, while wasting £8mill on Ross and Norton that could have been spent on aforementioned program, I certainly hope not.

When they deem it fit to send 100's of reporters to cover the US elections at great expense to us licence payers when commercial stations send a fraction of the number yet offer as informative coverage, is it any wonder?
