OT James Bond

[Andy_Faber]

Great game.

Run away? Don’t be ridiculous, and the thread is about who’s going to play James Bond isn’t it?
How can I have a ‘take’ on a performance I haven’t seen on a programme I’ve never seen?
If you’re asking me if there’s room for controversy on a ‘national TV family show’...of course there is...programmes from ‘Z Cars’ to ‘Grangehill’ and ‘East Enders’ to ‘Coronation Street’ have demonstrated that for years.
If you’re asking me about a specific programme I’ve never seen with people in it I’ve never heard of...how am I meant to answer that?

I think this issue really belongs in the media bias thread and yes it was overly political IMO. There have been thousands of complaints to Ofcom about it, but more important to ITV will be whether viewers switched off/over, as they sell BGT advertising at a premium, I have a friend (who works for BBC!) who will be across these numbers which I'll ask him to provide. Weirdly BBC website reports clearly on the Ofcom complaints, but Radio Times says nothing and focuses on what a fantastic success the routine was...
