But Wogan and Parkinson had two of the most boring programmes on TV. Comedian/funny presenters are always going to do a lot of the talking, that's the nature of the beast.

Nah. I think you've got that the wrong way round. More like here's a story where we can cover all angles and make everybody happy; people who don't like clarkson, throw in a rant about the PC Brigade and possibley even make an excuse to have a dig at the BBC.
RNIB dude is the easiest option for the kick-start outrage angle.
It's an easy story that's likely to get people buying and reading. The fact that it's not news, doesn't really matter, and isn't very important is irrelevant in the face of fillable pages
Quite - it's a load of manufactured outrage bollocks. That said, Clarkson is a tit and deserves everything he gets - I hope the blind get a posse together and hunt him down with packs of feral guide dogs |

heard Des O Connortalking about the modern day presenter and i agree with what he said in as much as he and people like Wogan and Parkinson used to let the guests talk but if you listen to Ross and Clarkson and that bendy faced irishman they do the talking
I just find Ross boorish now. You're right...he's trying to be the main event, and when you've got someone like Tom Jones on the couch, that's not on. Who would you rather listen to? And what was all that bollocks last night when Ross was going on about wanting to see Tom Jones naked? Was there anyone, anywhere who found it funny? The saddest part was he'd prepared the gag beforehand. Time someone else was given a shot in my view. |

I think I prefer Ross's have a laugh with the guest and entertain approach. I think the guests on such shows are rarely interesting enough to take it more seriously, not a dig at current celebrities, on the whole I doubt they were better a decade or two ago either. |

the bbc should be abolished.the inflated wages they pay presenters, and the overspend they get away with due to the poll tax we pay them is a disgrace.

The BBC is ace. Maybe a more means tested way of paying your tv liscence would be better though. Or scrap the licence fee and make up the funding fully through normal taxation. As long as it didn't cut down though. If anything it should get more money.
To be honest, if I was talking to foreign types I think the BBC is one of the few British things I'd say is awesome.
At the very least it provides a balance to the commercial channels, in both their interests and the shite they churn out. Commercial radio especially is fucking awful.

When the BBC pay a talentless twat like Ross £6m a year to fawn over superstarts while abusing innocent parties then they're always going to be open to challenge.
