An illogical decision. How long does it take to read the results? and what is so pressing that it has to be ditched. Maybe the Beeb could compromise & read them in Urdu?

I see Jeremy Paxman is retiring from University Challenge due to ill health. I wonder who from the diversity brigade will replace him. I am not expecting it to be pale male and stale.

Finally, a bit of diversity on TV. Never thought I'd see the day that bastion of whiteness would change.

Ex footballer Alex Scott is 1. Female 2. Mixed Ethnic 3. LGBT Difficult for the BBC to top all of that list....but surely they will try ? We will not be getting john Cleese nor Paul Gascoigne to replace Bamber Gascoigne Edited by PalazioVecchio (19 Aug 2022 9.20am)

Apparently the BBC insiders are moaning that he was given a job did well and then got other bigger and better parts. I think they call that a career. Don't know the bloke never seen him but this does sound like sour grapes from some in the BBC. ITV were willing to pay big bucks for the guy so they must see something in him which presumably is why the BBC upped his salary. Well he is replacing 2 iconic presenters on the show if he's not up to the job the viewers will soon turn off. Edited by Badger11 (19 Aug 2022 9.41am) Edited by Badger11 (19 Aug 2022 9.43am)

I cannot believe they are appointing another man. Blatant misogyny!

In last night’s Eastenders episode: 2 black brothers are giving out their food in the marketplace when the market inspector approaches. One brother says to the other ‘here comes an angry white man!’. I wasn’t in the slightest offended but was just left wondering what if it had been other way round and the inspector had said ‘there’s two annoyed black men!’.
