Much as I dislike D-Cam I think he was right to get annoyed at This Mornings completely cack-handed stunt. I wondered whether that on 'the list' were names who he knew to be gay and kind've blurted it out.

Either way, it was a cheap n tasteless telly stunt I thought and there's an unfortunate deja vu feeling of the tabloids stirring shit up and pointing fingers as before.

I also think Jonathon Dimbleby was right to ask for a sense of calm and rationale before the tabloids decide, for the rest of us, that the BBC is a nest of paedophiles. The press, particularly the right-wing, love stickin it to the Beeb whom they see as a privileged set of mostly Oxbidge educated left-leaning but State-funded intellectuals. There may be some truth to that, and there are questions that need to be asked and answered for sure. But the BBC didn't turn Jimmy Savile in to a creepy paedophile - he managed that all by himself and inquiries should be made accordingly before the lynch mobs run riot...again.

Time for the Brasseye special to be shown again maybe?
