Re-watching it, he appears to say "F*** it" under his breath at the very end of his comments, but it's barely audible and you really wouldn't hear it unless you were listening for it, which I suppose is why the people in charge of the bleeper didn't react.

By apologising , they simply drew attention to it. But I guess they have to apologise because there's always going to be a minority of viewers writing in to complain about it.

I thought Zoe's apology was quite sweet - she even whispered the words "bad language"

The BBC beeper man may not have been on the ball but it looks like the sound man was alert enough to muffle the naughty words in the time delay, my feeling as it is before the watershed is that an apology from Len would be the right thing to do, his continuous other crudities are also very near the knuckle and he should be invited to realize that now is the time to stop making those sort of risqué comments with children watching.

what you say is correct aggs, thank you.

Oooooooh I love crudities, especially dipped in salsa. Yummy!

If that commentary is on DAB, then there is a delay, albeit one introduced by way of the digital technology (maybe a few seconds at the encoding end, a few seconds within the decoder in the radio - the length of delay is specific to the equipment used). Digital TV is the same.


And to be honest, why would there be any need to introduce a delay on a radio commentary anyway?

It was too long ago for DAB

It was all a pre-planned publicity stunt by The BBC. Or will be next time it happens.

I thought the same.

Len should do the right thing and say sorry too.

You read my mind. Or Blue Cheese dip!

After everything that Claudia has been through with her daughters tragic Halloween burns accident some days ago, why is it that people on the internet have to target her at such a distressing time? why can't they just leave her alone to care for her child and make her better.

If you want to get involved in the discussion about this tragic accident which happened several weeks ago, you might find it more useful to post on this thread

so you can read what others said about it.
Bumping a year old thread doesn't really give any useful context.
Hope this helps.

What is your opinion on the people that are targeting Claudia and her daughter on the internet, do you think that they should leave her alone?

THE STRICTLY GIRLS - Clothes Horse Wars - Tess V Claudia V Zoe - Frocks Fab Or Frocks Horror ?

Who in your opinion is winning the frock off on Strictly come dancing?

Lets hear what you think about each of the girls outfits ?

What do you think of the girls dresses and the wardrobe department ?

I am not normally over sensitive - usually ignore a comment I, personally, find a bit 'off' but I do think referring to the strictly girls as 'clothes horses' is a bit insulting!

Given the self-centredness and bad taste of the poster in bumping up his entirely irrelevant year old thread on Claudia to comment on her daughter, why should we be surprised?

I don't see why, the Strictly girls wear different designer gear every time they appear, most celebs get gear to wear from designers free to promote the individual designers, so 'clothes horses' in most cases is quite an appropriate description, if its age you are referring to perhaps ponies or fillies would be better.

I reckon it was probably just another expedition

You are mistaken nancy, unlike some others I have not taken part in the 'prying' discussions into Claudias personal family life as that is private and should be respected as so. The attacks that Claudia and her family have been receiving on the internet however is a public matter.


Who do you think is the best dressed out of the four girls on Strictly Come Dancing?

Zoe looks amazing tonight in black leggings and a black sequined top, but I do wish she would get her legs out for us more.

I love the "Lets Get Frocked" feature on It Takes Two with Vickie Gill.


Pixies crystal dress is going to be fabulous.

Len is always frightening my ears with crudities before the watershed, they should give him a bar of soap before the show is about to start.

FBS give it a rest

Personally I find it distasteful for such things to be said on TV while kids are watching, it is not a good example to set for their future well being.

I'm sure their parents, schoolfriends, siblings, Joe and Jane Public that they encounter NEVER EVER swear before nine of the clock post meridiem. Welcome to Earth btw. Where you from dude?
