That Jonathon Ross has bleeping on his Friday night show. It's on very late and plenty of shows at 9.0pm have fcuks and other expletives with bleeping.
I e-mailed the producers to enquire why but got some nonsensical reply.
However; this week Catherine Tate (she of the foul-mouthed grandma) was on and fcuked and blinded her way right through the show without a single bleep. Other guests also made use of the laxity, to the obvious displeasure of JR.
Jonathon, unusually, did not use any language which would have normally been bleeped.
Conclusion: JR couldn't be seen to censor a comedienne whose show wasn't censored, but couldn't be seen (heard) to swear himself.
He likes to be the cheeky chappy, fcuking and blinding himself, but without ever upsetting his TV audience by actually letting them hear him. On this occasion he obviously couldn't cuss and be bleeped because that would have made it obvious that it's him that insists on the censoring not the producers or the Beeb, so he had to be 'clean' himself.
This realisation has devalued him in my eyes.
What do you think?
