Totally off topic.. Soxs on BP looks just like my Mouse. Is soxs female or male? If female, Mouse would like to send her some love emails and make kittens with her. If it's a boy Mouse wants to know if he has a sister.

IIRC Socks is male... check on the Blue Peter website.

I'm guessing it'll be these spin-offs of Question Time that we've heard so much about.
"And don't forget, YOU could win a luxury tea-strainer if you call Question Time EXXXTRAAAA!!! on BBC News 24 to answer this simple question: what's the Prime Minister's favourite colour? Call 0900 487 2 7226 (0900 ITS A SCAM) TODAY! Not all calls outside 10 Downing Street will be accepted, calls cost £90 extra on your income tax a minute, and if we don't find a winner, we'll get Cherie Blair to pose as a winner. Good luck!"

you forgot to say the competition is only open to residents of outer mongolia with written concent off both sets of great grandparents
This isn't really a scam, just a technical hitch on a live show and somebody having a headless chicken moment.
It is a tad dishonest though. Remember Big Breakfast having to cancel it's phone in competitions like beat the banger a few times due to bad weather. When that happened they'd say so and postpone it until the next day when the selected winners would be phoned back to play the game

Oh i do love the bullshi7 they come out with! What aload of old tosh! This scandal is better than when the BP gardens got trashed.
What scandal, they just came on air and said t hat it had been vandalised and then got a few episodes out of the clean up. There wasn't a scandal as such, unless you count the original vandalism which wasn't the beeb's fault
Sorry but i have no sympathy with anyone who is deluded enough to ring these premium rate numbers. Oh and don't let the presenters off on this scandal. They must have an inkling that these comps are a scam.
They probably wouldn't. Presenters on air on alive programme are fairly immune from what is going on behind the scenes during the programme. This seems to be a decision that was made by a junior member of staff during the programme in order to fill a trailed slot that needed to fill with something.
What they did was a wrong decision, but there's very little the presenters could have done even if they realised what had happened.. if indeed they did know at the time, which i doubt
