ack-ack Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I thought their take on the Saville affair was very well put. There were no cheap laughs and I reckon it dealt with it sincerely. Anybody see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes, they didn't half over egg they didn't know....

-Mongrel- Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 More shockingly the presenters shocking joke about Abu hamsters flight not being crashed into a New York sky scraper... Very I'll considered! And rightly met with silence, but not Baldings joke I'll bet. That will have been a script writers faux pas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 There seemed to be an element of BBC damage limitation but the lawyers had clearly given them the go-ahead to consider him guilty but they seemed to put it as most people are thinking.

Chr15j Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If the beeb have something to say they should make a statement not use a bunch of comedians and a failed politician. It was painful watching them squirm, it should have been omitted as a topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 How could they? It would be conspicuous bu its absence. It is the elephant in the room. Radio 4's News Quiz (repeat on at 12.30 today) briefly mentioned Saville then shut up under mock lawyer's instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpkiller Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I dont get the whole saville thing. If a bunch of nurses knew saville was a predatory sex offender on their ward and they did nothing about it surely its them that should get arrested? the blokes dead, why is it all coming out now?

Thought that myself mate , don't nurses have a duty of care or something like that, some sort of allegiance to the care of kids, if he was reported and the top managers did nowt , it's them who want questioning and being held responsible, Atb flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willxx Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 It seems to me that everyone thought he was a strange bloke (Louis Theroux episode for example) and a weirdo and no-one (outside of the media industry strangely enough?) appears surprised by the allegations, the issue would seem to be whether or not he, along with others, were "protected" by people within the entertainment industry. It seems reminiscent of the old Holywood attitude where "stars" were indulged in every way with any and all vices they could demand or imagine! If you think back to even the comedy of the time, On the Buses, Rising Damp etc the treatment of women was completely different to now and some things which would have been on the borderlines of acceptablility would now be considered absolutely taboo. I'm not looking to condone the cigar smoking pervert in any way, the more details of the allegations that are slipping out the more disgusting he appears to have been, I am merely pointing out that some things may have been thought of differently 30+ years ago and if the media in its own self righteous protectionism begins to look to extending their self powered bandwagon to allow to tarring and feathering of any bloke who may not have asked to see ID for a groupie circa 1973 then I'd guess there could be a lot of pop stars of the era who may be suffering from a bout of twitchy sphincter!

coyotemaster Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Is that when he said "dont worry its quite normal to get an erection during this procedure" When you replied "i havent got one" He said "No but I have" And you hadn't noticed both of his hands were on your shoulders???
