Now it turns out the
Top Gear
caravan blaze was faked (you don't say!?), the Queen wants the BBC film pulled (highly understandable and not necessarily sensational), the film on the
Ten O'Clock News
on Thursday about child smuggling may cause the BBC to face prosectuion (WTF?), and of course the
Daily
f***ing
Mail
is mauling the BBC to death. Again. And again. And yet again.

It's been decieving OFCOM (or bribing them). I call for the Queen to demand that GMTV is pulled immediately and replaced by TVAM.

GMTV has been faking it for the last 14-and-a-half years by claiming it's a breakfast television channel.

and the difference between the 2 companies are.....
fake phone quizzes (GMTv)
DAILY NATIONal papers bingo numbers - tvam
little news and loads of entertainment - both
roland rat - tvam/darkwing duck - gmtv
thin lizzy - tvam/mr motivator - gmtv
lorraine kelly - both
the leist goes on - no real difference between the 2 at all.
if anything the only non-pretentious breakfast programme this country ever had was the big breakfast on c4!

ITV admits to death scenes error
Malcolm Pointon
Malcolm Pointon was diagnosed with Alzheimer's aged 51
ITV has admitted that an Alzheimer's patient who will be shown apparently "passing away" in a documentary's final scenes actually died three days later.
Publicity for the ITV1 programme, to be shown on 8 August, claimed it would show the final moments of composer Malcolm Pointon, 66, of Cambridgeshire.
ITV now says the footage was of him slipping into unconsciousness and the programme will include a clarification.
ITV chairman Michael Grade said he had ordered a "thorough" investigation.

i'm surprised most haunted hasn't appeared in any of these revelations. i know there was the "derek faker" thing before derek left the show, but with such a wide range of people appearing in front of camera, often isolated away from producers etc, its seems an obvious programme for slip ups to happen.

Most Haunted was flagged up as being fake back in late 2005.

But then anybody who watches Most Haunted and the way Derek Acorah apparently takes on mannerisms of long-dead people will know that this programme catches nothing of any great interest 99% of the time anyway.

I saw the corry episode of most haunted where the studio was meant to be haunted by a male crew member who suddenly turns out to Pat Phoenix at the end 
now ITV is accused of faking a sick man's death when in fact they thought he'd died, even his wife, so they didn't fake it.
apparently in Dr Who the Judoon Platoon upon the Moon wan't really filmed on the moon, it was filmed in a studio.
or was that the lunar landings

I'm not sure why people are going on about "was supposed to be live" TV when we've not had it for years - apart from the news.
I don't care if someone is miming when singing - especially if they sound awful live.
As for someone dying on cam, everyone seems to have forgotten the bloke shown dying of cancer about 5/6 years ago. That was described as the "last taboo" then. The poor man has obviously been forgotten for his role in that. I can't remember whether it was BBC TWO or C4.
BBC NEWS 24 rebroadcasts reports so often I'm not surprised they forget to take the "live" graphic away on repeats. It's normally an insert in a live report anyway.
They are all alot more "live" than the week old broadcasts the nation saw during the Falklands War.
