I don't think I am (Tom xp). As with Ross and Brand and Carol Thatcher, the BBC repeatedly fail to stand by their broadcasters or stand up to the meejah bullies.
Get rid of spineless jellyfish Thompson and install a DG with some guts.

Ross, Brand, Carol Thatcher... yeah, great, let's man the barricades

Yet they keep Jeremy "lorry drivers are all rapists" Clarkson on. Conspiracy? I think so.
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Tuesday, 3 March 2009 11:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Well even Clarkson was made to apologise when he had no need to apologise for anything.

Is there any evidence that the BBC bears any responsibility at all for disqualifying Corpus Christi? It's not as if the BBC makes the show.

sadly Jo "dogshit thru BNP letterboxes" Brand is still allowed to do her awful dance routines for charity. did we lose a war??

It depends.
What's on the other side?
― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 11:48 (fifteen years ago) link
im surprised that
1) the 'story' didn't emerge sooner2) they keep the final result secret for three-odd months. in this day and age.

1) makes sense to wait until the winner is revealed and cause a bigger fuss. nothing wrong with that imo.2) as with the apprentice, i don't think papers even make an effort to find out - they'd expect a viewer backlash against spoiling a popular series. (a while back the sun got offered a leaked copy of the new harry potter and shopped the guy to the police.)

"Papers" ha. I assume by "day and age" Enrique was talking about web leaks.

xp haha now i'm picturing the old style young lad on the street corner shouting "extra extra" with astonishing UC disqualification headline on the front page.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Tuesday, 3 March 2009 11:57 (fifteen years ago) link
I suppose plenty of rumours are "out" in the sense that not everyone has kept quiet, but aren't contagious enough to really spoil it for a large number of people. If I heard who won University Challenge ahead of air date, I wouldn't be that tempted to pass it on. It's not like a "ooh, Jimmy Savile keeps his mum stuffed in his living room" type rumour.
Next time the Apprentice is on, I'll see if I can dig out the winner from some obscure Digital Spy forum thread or something. Actually, I won't. That would spoil things for myself.
― Alba, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 12:00 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't watch the apprentice so might try and do that.
― Judd Nelson (special guest stars mark bronson), Tuesday, 3 March 2009 12:02 (fifteen years ago) link
Ah yes, The Apprentice, won last year by someone who was caught lying on his CV.
Double standards? The BBC's got plenty!

So the Paul Weller lookylikey won.
The moral?
The bully wins.
The liar wins.
The cheat wins.
What a great and inspiring message to convey to impressionable young viewers. Don't bother learning to spell; look where it gets you.
Or was this a sort of Closet Socialist Sugar Trojan Horse exercise?

It's a quiz show.
It's light entertainment.
It's not the Olympics (even though we all know about the tedious hypocrisy going on there).
Yet again, no one would have known or been bothered by it had not some hopeless loser of a whinger gone and talked to the Meejah.
Why don't we just get rid of all programmes on the BBC and have 24-hour Songs Of Praise with Aled Jones and Myleene Klass if we want "purity"?

The promotion of morons as role models vs. the demotion of talented, intelligent people for fear of meejah criticism - no conflict of opinion there.

Marcello being very cynical on this thread or just being honest

Quite agree, Dorian.

I think Dorian's comment was summing up your position.

And I was agreeing with his comment.

rules of the game and filming schedule are made pretty clear at the audition stage and teams have a reserve player so these guys have no excuse
oh except they're the master race of course

Yeah, they do. Believe this rule was introduced when one team had a fundamentalist Christian in the team who wouldn't go to recordings on a Sunday.

This Corpus Christi mob also changed their captain in the course of the series - which I've never seen happen before
