Mind I don't think Mr Collins was ever a "Star"

He should have stuck to singing.


Prolly just trying to drum up some money.

The only emoticon that fits here, naturally is ...

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

The racing driver's contract at the BBC expired last month and will not be renewed, it is understood, after the dispute which cost the corporation up to £100,000.

You are not being too literal ~ you are not reading the thing properly.

The LAW suit cost the Beeb 100k  doh:

Whatever the cost of the legal action, Top Gear - of which BC was an intricate part - nets £millions for the Beeb and if that keeps the licence fee down then long may Top Gear continue.

P.S. If they're after a new Stig, I'm not doing anything at the moment... 8)

Ofcom should set a complaint threshold and only investigate if the the number of complaints goes over it. Perhaps a 1000 or maybe a percentage of the average audience figures.

Ofcom = A Quango we could well do without.

They only make a noise once in a while, usually about nothing as in this case, to justify their existence.
