Wonder how many of those Metro articles he will squeeze out of the nuptials...

Those teeth could give you a nasty nip...
I think he's done very well for himself.
For a short fat bloke you mean? You body-imagist you *shakes fist*
Richard Herring's quite dashing when he has his beard and long hair. I'm not saying I would, but I probably would.
He's great looking. As is she.
IS EVERYONE HAPPY NOW?
Are you forgetting where you are, zooo? This is the BCG where a propensity for being civil is highly frowned upon.
This is why such a big deal is being made in the press and by the president:

Feeling aged since I assumed the pic was of an old 5p coin
Members of the New Black Panther Party held a teleconference Friday to organize race riots and murders of "crackers and honkies":

I'm not a proponent of hate crime legislation but these people are calling for, and inciting, riots, murder and the destruction of American society and some people need to be arrested before they decide to act and people get killed. The president and the federal government need to get this under control before cities start burning.

Sport / Comic Relief - substandard and politically dubious programming to guilt the British public into handing over cash for foreigns
Here's what the BBC should be doing - 1) Make television programmes, 2) Make radio shows, 3) Report the news and 4) Shut the f**k up
If the BBC just produced programmes to your personal tastes it wouldn't be doing its job. It has to have a some level of populism to justify its exisitence and I say that as someone who would rather fall down a mine shaft then watch BBC1 on a Saturday evening (Dr Who aside).
I personally wouldn't mind paying more for a subscription BBC which was lots more of BBC4, HBO, More 4 and the more adventurous parts of BBC2,1 and 3.
They could have a separate subscription channels for programmes featuring Norton, Tichmarsh and Barrowman etc. for plebs who just don't have the discerning sophistication of myself and Renegade Carpark.
I have no problem with their radio output though which is not streets but whole cities ahead of commercial radio.

I have no problem with the Beeb making populist nonsense, I do have a problem with them ripping off or buying formats that have already been successful on other channels / countries.
It's difficult to believe that an organisation that prides itself on the imaginations of it's talent should stoop so low as to get into bidding wars / wholesale theft of instantly forgetable mindless rubbish.
There are people on this forum who could tell you how many times Doctor Who used his sonic screwdriver, how many guests stayed at Fawlty Towers and can name the entire cast of Dads Army - but none of them - not a single one of them - not even the chicks - can remember who won the X Factor, The Apprentice and Strictly Come Dancing three years ago.
Does anally nerdy obsessive behaviour make a television show credible? You bet it does.

RC !
There's a difference between popular and populist.
The BBC used to know the difference
