Would you like to see Raj back on the TV? He was very good back in the day on This Morning. We don't see many intellectuals on our screens and Raj is a good example of someone who's very clever and good at communicating. It's about time he came back. He does have his own youtube channel for those who still consider themselves fans.

    :D Rishi Persad?

    Dr Raj is the one who got done for plagiarism. I'm not sure whether anybody would feel the need to put him back on TV anytime soon.

    Maybe they replied on the last thread

    FWIW I don't mind Raj and thought his treatment was a bit harsh but he seems to be doing ok for himself now. I'm glad he hasn't reduced himself to appearing on BBBOTS, that would be sad.

    I don't think his treatment was harsh at all. Someone in his position just can't do what he did. ITV firing him sent out the right message.

    Wow, I'd forgotten I'd started another thread on him. Why am I constantly starting threads about Raj? I need his advice. I suspect it goes back to Freud.

    I don't know:D regarding the BIB, is it not something the good people of DS could help with? Or maybe you could contact Raj via his youtube thingy.

    I know the man but not by name.

    I thought it might be that guy off WatchDog who wore the turban.

    The one that molested a woman at the BBC. What was his name??

    Raj Persaud was very good at doing TV, but TV experts need a good professional reputation - that's what makes them credible experts.

    No program maker would hire a discredited 'expert' - nobody would respect or believe a word he said.

    He denies this and , you know it's not impossible that he may be telling the truth .

    Is he not still on This Morning sometimes? Also presents a kids medical programme? Or am I thinking of someone else?

    If he got in trouble for molesting a woman, why is he even being allowed on R4? That's BBC owned, right? What are they doing keeping a known pervet on their staff?

    Strange that he "apologised unreservedly" if it wasn't true then.

    I always felt that his TV 'success' was purely a result of his religion, and there being a lack of many high profile Sikhs on the BBC. On the times I saw him he was never funny, entertaining or insightful.

    Whether that's so or not, I never liked him. He came across as a total git to me.

    I didn't mind Raj until he got the boot though. It's a shame he went and did that, the stupid man.
