He has got new merchandise out for Xmas and as far as he is concerned no publicity is bad publicity, he knows exactly what he is doing, some of his stuff is excellent, the rest is just an ego trip, i wish his wife would just finally get fed up with it all, go for the divorce and really hit him where it hurts money wise.

I have visions of Jim Davidson (with added postmodern irony) on wheels if that ever happened.

I doubt that his right-wing anti PC crap is an act or a persona.
I'm pretty sure he is a boorish, right-wing cunt who is happy to slag off public sector workers while quite happily sticking his fat jowly face into the public money trough with no idea of the irony of that situation.

I'm sure some of it is an act. He made it as a comedian who wrote about cars, and his career's basically kicked on by doing the same thing about everything else.

I'm not saying that this gets him off the hook. You can't just act the cunt and say "Irony!"

The Beeb has pulled the edition of QI with him in it. Which is a pity, because it deprives us of Daira OBriain and Ross Noble.

Oh FFS what a bloody stupid overreacting that is.

Agreed.
I suppose I could understand it if he makes another 'joke' of dubious taste in it, although he's been on best behaviour when I've seen him on QI before.

And of course the key part is it's edited and on after the watershed on BBC2 and not going out live on primetime BBC1

But as the pulled Brand episode of Buzzcocks proved, it doesn't always work against them.

The difference is that the Brand Buzzcocks episode has never been shown (AFAIK) whereas QI has merely been rescheduled to be screened at a later date.

Can't they just organise a chat show featuring Clarkson, Brand, Oliver Reid (Or whoever passes now for pissed up out of control entertainment), and one of the Kids from South Park.

Oliver Reed?

He's dead surely...

bluebellnutter · **Posted:** Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:43 am

They have sown the Brand Buzzcocks episode, but only about two years after the event

Ollie Reed on Aspel:

This was accepted in a spirit of "anything can happen on live TV". Actually, it wasn't live at all.

Can you imagine if the BBC did that now?

As bluebell said, it did get shown much later, but because of the fuss surrounding it people couldn't wait to finally see it when they eventualy put it on, so ironicaly it got even more viewers than it probably would have at the time.

Bit of hoo haa can do wonders for a show sometimes.
