I can’t help but over analyse this stuff, love a bit of gossip.

But that explains why she’s saying “it was all arranged!” - she’s been told to make out like it’s a joke, but she’s drawn the line at coming out and saying “I was being a c*** to a guy I like for the lols”, because that really would stick in the craw after he got handsy

It truly is fascinating watching the BBC try and style out these scandals. It's almost worth it that the odd intern gets groped now and again, because this is some of the best entertainment the BBC has put out in a long time.

Was watching a Stewart Lee comedy vehicle from 2014 and he had a dig at Huw Edwards being a wrong un in that.

This is still all rumours and allegations. There’s nothing to suggest high profile/paid BBC stars would do such a thing. I also have every confidence the BBC will act appropriately and be open and honest with the license fee payers.

Fresh off the heels of BBC scaling back Newsnight and the World Service to a skeleton staff they’ve cancelled Hardtalk completely

Sad to see the former pillars of actual journalism being binned off

Never mind, I'm sure they'll keep on with the "what the papers say" - type segments so that the newsprint proprietors still get their say/influence.

All 24hr perma news channels love that segment as it contracts out the journalising to others

One-on-one interviews, such as Hardtalk, are also the cheapest shows to make. The money they save from cutting it will not make any difference. Bonkers decision

If you can come off as badly as he did in a puff piece "what I do at the weekend" interview, like he did in The Times a few months ago (or Torygraph?) I shudder to think how much of a pr!ck he'd be unvarnished and unedited.

Probably my favourite and worst interview of all time. Full on partridge.

BBC giving air time to drill rapper who killed Jimmy Mizen and glorifies it in his lyrics

Excellent use of the license fee

At least we can rely on the BBC for fearless reporting of the really important stuff.

Three months before a response, and you still somehow missed the point of the gag.

Well done mate x

Yes. That's absolutely right. But isn't it you who has missed the point of my gag. I got your gag and actually thought it was quite funny.

I'm not sure why the delay in replying is an issue for you. Is there a cut off date by which replies must be made? I simply just hadn't noticed it before. Some threads I read some I don't. Mainly because a lot of them are a bit boring.

No idea who Molly-Mae or Tommy are, but if there has been kissing going on, I think we should be told about it

Apparently they are the most famous Love Island, whatever that is, couple. With a daughter called Bambi. FFS.
