Why I am uneasy about coverage of Jim Davidson's arrest

I have never been a Jim Davidson fan. I didn't like his gags or his political views. Once forced to sit through one of his live stand-up performances, I thought his act stank. That said, the rest of the audience seemed to love it and I certainly admired his professionalism. I am concerned on his behalf, however, after seeing today's national newspaper coverage of his arrest.

The best of Jim Davidson's blog

Jim Davidson OBE, comedian and embodiment of the 1970s, has a blog. We're not particularly thrilled that he has an OBE, but it's easier to make fun of the blog.

There are some interesting juxtapositions; a segment on Simon Amstell's deconstructionist comedy rubs up against Jim Davidson's limp attempts to legitimise a back catalogue of bigotry. Yet it's difficult to shake the suspicion that Yentob and co have overstretched themselves; the sheer number of comics gives the show a baggy, unfocused feel.
