Did anyone catch Katherine Ryan with Louis Theroux? There wasn't much to it but she brought up again a very well known British comedian that's a known sex pest. It's the same person her and Sarah Pascoe were talking about before. Ryan said that this person has an army of lawyers that shut down any potential stories pretty quickly. For a while it was believed to be Russell Brand but I think it's actually David Walliams. Brand is stuck in the YouTube alt-right grift these days, which probably shows where he is financially.
I don't know if Brand is responsible in this instance, but British stand-ups on podcasts are getting increasingly open about the fact that Brand is a piece of poo poo and a pest. Daniel Sloss has name-dropped him about this on multiple occasions now. Theres going to be a deluge of stories one day.

David Williams is 100% a predator though. Footage resurfaced of him regularly sexually assaulting boys as young as 16 on the Little Britain tour. I was watching some Little Britain recently on youtube and its insane how badly it holds up. Little every sketch is some form of offensive caricature or right-wing stereotype.

There's stories in recent years about him doing similar stuff with inviting people back to his dressing room when on Britain's Got Talent. Between all the stories and Come Fly With Me's general existence his career is one of those things where you start genuinely wondering who he has blackmail material on.

Never really saw this, so just watched an episode. And yeah, loving hell.
Read up on it, and it was aired as a Christmas launch show by the BBC. 3rd most watched show of 2010.
iDeal was still going on at this time, and got no love from the BBC, and they showed this poo poo at prime time.

Matt Lucas apologied for Little Britain giving the old "it was another time" qualifier, with no mention of Come Fly With Me - a show that was at least as bad and made much more recently lol

The "hot new reality format" debuts on BBC tomorrow - essentially, is it's mafia, but with physical challenges for no real reason whatsoever. Where of the cast, some will be "traitors" and "murder" a loyal player (Eliminating them from the game) and then as a large group, try and vote out another player, hopefully it being a traitor (but most likely another loyal)

The only downside is the endgame revolves around a prisoners dilemma.

I think it’s hilarious, but this sort of thing isn’t something I watch. I’m convinced everyone is a plant. Everyone. They’re all working with the production team.

I made a house rule that whenever anyone wants to talk about the show they have to first say, “okay, time for some game theory.”

Ellie Taylor hosted Pottery Throwdown when the normal host was on sick leave, and she was a really nice presenter: able to be cheeky and cheerful, whilst never making the comedy all about herself, but instead being interested in the contestants and what they were making. If Noel isn't leaving too, I think she'd be able to hold her own against him.

And yes, while I think Pru and Paul are long past their best, I don't think you'd be able to winkle Paul out of the judges position at this point. He's tried his own shows several times and it's never really taken off for him as he is so very overbearing. I think he knows Bake Off is his main meal ticket at this point and would be loath to leave it.

If you want nice, happy Bake Off with pleasant judges, try watching Junior Bakeoff - they have Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill and they are wonderfully kind, supportive judges to the 8-13 year old children creating staggering messes out of chocolate and sugar in the kitchen.
