I always thought the Beeb should have been more savvy with the Brand/Woss complaints - takes the f*cking thing off iPlayer - from the show there were 5 complaints after some acoloyte of Mary Whitehouse had droppped his wad all over the front-page of the Fail there were around 30k downloads in the first week and a shed-load of complaints - if they'd simply made the content unavailable they'd have had less complaints (there'd still be a few people feeling they should do what their newspaper tells them to do)
Top Gear was good - Rugby in cars? there was arount £200k of car on that pitch! So next time someone wonders what their license fee is paying for, you tell em: Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, Five Live, Radio 6, about 30 Local Radio channels, BBC News and Weather, the Reith Lectures, Some outdoor performances, BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, technologies given to the independent broadcasters -
Top Gear is probably making 20 times more than it costs from worldwide sales and is subsidising the rest
