Oh ffs is anybody on TV not a paedo?!
Attenborough, I’d wager. That’s about the only one I’d be confident of. Probably Brian Blessed as well.
Tony Hart, although I hear Morph has a tell-all autobiography in the pipeline…
I don’t want to hear anything bad about Tony Hart, Johnny Morris, Johnny Ball, or Brian Cant. Oh, or John Noakes. All the others are a bit sus though.
I don’t want to hear anything bad about … Johnny Ball
How bad is “bad” here?
A quick wikipediaing suggests climate change denial which is disappointing but I can live with it. Plus something about Strictly and accusing a dancer of faking an injury. Is that it?
It’s mainly the climate change denial that annoys me as a lot of kids got their love of science and maths from him. However, I find the complaining about CRB checks to be a concern - I can’t see any reason why he’d object to them.
The main pain with CRB checks is having to go through it for every thing. You can’t just apply once and get the certificate and I don’t think the organisation your applying from makes a material difference to the checks that are done.
Not yet convicted, so don’t jump to conclusions, but it’s not looking good for him.
Obviously “innocent until proven guilty” but as it is for manufacturing child abuse images then they must have some pretty damning evidence.
Normally I’d whole heartedly agree, but to be accused of anything even close to CSAM means he is likely one of:
- guilty, and not smart enough to hide it
- innocent, and incredibly stupid (considering his position in media)
- the victim of a very dark Wile E. Cayote frame up job
Guess we’ll all find out soon enough.
Timmy Mallett.
Because if you were on Operation Yewtree, you’d for sure have had a look at his history. The fact that they’ve found nothing indicates the man is clean.

He just got a bloody pay rise as well!
“Mr Edwards left the BBC in April.”
I wouldn’t have thought so, he stopped working for the BBC last year.
There was a post on here recently that listed BBC presenters pay, and it mentioned him getting a pay rise.
I don’t if if it was a pay rise or just he’d done more work last year (extra voiceover work for coronations etc).
☹️ I used to like him, too.
