I think you've just libelled Danny Cohen.

Also it's just impossible for Danny Cohen to have suggested that the BBC was engaged in turning a blind eye with regards Jimmy Savile, that would never be his viewpoint. Nor of any other senior BBC executive.
But it is the viewpoint of the Daily Mail. So, insane as it appears, the Daily Mail made up a quote. Or did they? It's all just a saga now. |

You were right when you said Cohen hates Clarkson, as he's just compared him to Jimmy Saville
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ke-Savile.html The BBC aren't very good in closing down stories like this, time and time again they run and run and end up out of all proportion. I can't see Top Gear ever returning, in any format, the way things are going I feel very little sympathy for Clarkson anyway; I feel sorrier for the producer. He got the blame for whatever upset the presenter and is now getting death threats. |

Cohen never actually compared Clarkson personally to Saville.
I feel very little sympathy for Clarkson anyway; I feel sorrier for the producer. He got the blame for whatever upset the presenter and is now getting death threats. We still don't actually know what happened. The family that saw the incident at the hotel said they heard shouting, nothing about anybody being hit from what I read. |

I wonder if ITV might have had a bit more luck had they got Phillip Schofield to do Stars in Their Eyes and Harry Hill to do Back in The Room? Might have been more natural fits.
Not sure what to make of You're Back in the Room now I'm watching it. It's certainly different but The Generation Game (amongst others) has already proven that members of the public can make complete pillocks of themselves without being hypnotised. |

Now H of De Vil, I did think about posting a link to this for you as I don't want you to explode here on the forum. So please read it calmly.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3...p6YXDZDvUg51sv I think possibly the best line of the interview is this one "For the live itself, we're not 100% sure what we're doing" I think that explains partly why Corrie is such a mess right now. The live episode is about 6 months away. Are they just making things up on the back of a napkin? |

I imagine the appearance of Anthony Cotton on Takeaway last night put a few viewers off. Certainly did me.

Did you actually even bother to read your own link?
Rather than closing down this story after a day or two, the BBC are allowing it to run and run by not explaining officially what happened and making a final decision. Everything from the start when they used the unusual word 'fracas' and left it at that makes this story quite odd. I see Dave are being very clever making a big point of how they are showing Top Gear at 8pm tonight. |

He actually wasn't too bad and Ant and Dec's stich up of him was very good. I hope the show manages to hold around the 6m mark.

Do the itv ratings usually take this long on a Sunday?

It makes me wonder what they have planned for Britain's Got Talent week. Normally it's a big storyline to pull the viewers in but nothing's been released yet.
