Good Morning Britain Presenter Rota

Yeah, for some reason we have this now. Bail.

An over-reaction, if you don't mind me saying so, Asa, in the case of my post you've removed. Sorry for the erroneous DM, Bail.

Tour de France coverage

Split from The Sport Thread

Tax breaks for Children's TV?

I would say that BBC Children’s is on top form. This is partly due to having the excellent Joe Godwin as head of the department. He has devoted his career to children’s television. Unlike all...
