Did anyone catch last night's BBC1 10 o'clock news... and the amazing two minute grovelling apology!!!!!!
And more importantly, if you recorded it can you email it to me.
I have never seen a more blatant attempt to stave off a lawsuit.
Brilliant!

Ah yes, I saw that! It was slightly entertaining! Im surprised, however, that we haven't seen the black screen with white writing saying... 'This is an apology for a programme broadcast on....'

...perhaps the company skipped complaining to the B.S.C, and went straight to their solicitors
