Badly Bleeped TV: Slap on the wrist for Mills

In Spain both the F (or rather J) word and the C word appear to be acceptable to use on daytime telly. Swearing doesn't bother me personally that much, I tend not to do it very often myself; mainly because I save it for when I am seriously p*ssed off - it has so much more effect.

I do think it's best not to subject children to lots of it though, as I get pretty upset when I hear kids swearing.

But then again children are going to do it more when they know they are not supposed to do it.

I rememeber when my cousin was about two, she just suddenly said in a very calm voice, more to herself than to anyone else "Fuck, my jellies got stuck together". Followed by silence from the whole family for about 5 minutes... You just never know how to react ;) It was pretty funny though.

Get a life offcom !! is it run by namby pamby people knitting jumpers for relatives ?

Yes, and it's other members of the knitting circle that call in to complain.

To be honest, as a parent, (as mentioned in another post, I'm getting on a bit) I don't really want my kids (5 and 2.5) repeating "crap", "bloody", "ass" as they hear on Moyles. That's why I don't have Radio 1 on when they are around, it hasn't driven me to call Offcom, but I don't think Radio 1 should *really* broadcast such words..

Yeah but bloody moyles is a right over-rated piece of crap. He needs to get his ass into gear before he is replaced by Sam the internet guy :)

I love the way they seem to slip "a horse for one bin" in on nearly every show, it's brilliant and so funny!

Whenever they do, I'm weeping within seconds. Those few words togther must be the best combination of words ever

Badly bleeped TV being removed is the most rubbish ever. Did he talk about it on the show? I listen to the podcast? It's ridiculous, it is clearly not in the wrong at all. The BBC should have some balls and stick up for it rather than give in and go "Yes, sorry about that. Mistake. We'll correct it. Sorry about that." despite it not even being slightly in the wrong.

As a Spaniard I noticed this lol, for example, before Spain got knocked out of Euro 2004, Juanito said "Si no ganamos estamos jodidos" (if we dont win we're f*cked) and it was played on daytime TV.

All I have got to say its I hate Ofcom with a firey passion along with the ASA and the complete arses who complain to it!

Eventually we wont have any 'lighthearted' entertainment because of these morons! At the end of the day, you can never please 100 per cent of people and if they dont like it, they know where they can go!!!

Ay up thats got me all feisty now :evil:

Bring it back!

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
