And as usual the BBC not available for comment!?

I know I’m in cloud cuckoo land but I’m going to do my utmost to get the DG job for the BBC. The BBC biased as hell towards the truth. Employees can say what they like when not working and in front of a mic. or camera otherwise it’s just THE TRUTH

– 7.75° Celsius! Yep tooooo cold 🥶 for me nowadays.

Maybe the Prof will join you. Channel 4 do documentaries where he can stare into the void.

Damn I’m angry at the BBC

I wish I’d have known in advance. A sacking followed by a subsequent employment tribunal may have beaten them. Freelance or not. I am genuinely saddened that you felt you had no choice.

No more Monkey Cage for me after this series. Unless I get the DG job in which case you will be invited back. Views your own. As with everybody else.

BBC must stand for truth over non biased BS.

Ditto. Including duckduckgo.com

I’ve been using the Duck for years now. Does it yield as many results as G. Probably not. It was way off in 2021 but more sites are optimising for both The D and G. And I’m not an employee or getting paid for this. I really dislike G tactics & practices.

Yes I’d have to agree. Blast! Beaten to the line again. I’ve got to answer quicker.

You know I’ve never seen that film!? I mean what the actual was I thinking as a kid!?
Gods man you were a fool sometimes. Hey! Still am. I hope.

All of her films!
I’ve had a mega crush on her since Freaky Friday, I was 11 but you want 1 ok
The Brave One
I think both Foster and Howard give amazing performances but it wasn’t warmly received generally. Beggared if I know why. I’d watch Jodie Foster paint her hallway for cripes sake

Worst coffee I’ve tasted! Was 15+ years ago mind and Al won’t change my mind

Excellent film that would stand a new cinema release given its’ subject imo.

Dog Day Afternoon (but it’s been claimed already) so

Serpico

I got the book for my 10th birthday but couldn’t see the film too young. Or

The Insider
a close up of a man with a beard holding his hand to his forehead .
Alt: a close up of a man with a beard holding his hand to his forehead . Al Pacino in the role of Serpico. The police officer who blew the whistle on the rife corruption in the NYPD. Great film Serpico’s book is better. Just.
