Just started watching ‘The Professionals’ TV series from 1977 and the sexism is shocking (old Gregg would love it). In this episode a villain was holding a nurse hostage with a grenade down her top which gave Bodie a good excuse to rip her shirt open.
In the actor credits, they used ‘pretty nurse’ - good job she wasn’t ugly! I saw that and he brushed the dust of her ample breasts, I am surprised they still show stuff like that without complaints. It does make you wonder how they judge these things. To me Beeb should not be showing the rest of Master Chef with him in it but just announce the winner, but I guess it's all about investment and returns not how the aggrieved are feeling. By cancelling the so called Christmas specials as a SOP to them with their proven twisted logic BBC fails on a crucial judgement call. Like Wallace they just don't get it  I believe they have now cancelled the rest of Master Chef following further complaints.

Having lived in our home with my wife and two daughters I am maybe a little too aware of this stuff going on. Our Son is also.

I believe I may have been mislead apologies Richard it appears that it is only the Xmas specials that have been cancelled.

The BBC have appointed themselves judge, jury and executioner...... Again........🤷🏻♂️
Impartial reporting has been overtaken by confirmation bias.....!
The current media coverage is so unbelievably one sided, surely someone with some sort of influence will stop it.
IF.... a crime is thought to have been committed, them I'm sure the police will be involved and IF, he is found guilty then I'm sure the appropriate prosecution will follow.
It's a rough and tumble, dog eat dog culture in the world of 'celebrity'. Who ever you are and however 'beloved' you may have been in the past, there's always a line of people waiting to stab you in the back...............

Well it's not quite that straightforward is it ?The Beeb has quickly deployed the sloping shoulders and deflected it all to Banijay - typical none of it will be their fault - right  Listening to John Torode saving his own arse was painful..

Yes and no.....but......er.....🤯 GW chatted me up 15 years ago or GW touched my a*se in a corridor doesn't make him the new Savile. A degree of perspective and proportionality has to employed here. If there is a bandwagon to be jumped on in today's victim culture it'll be jumped on and exploited to the fullest......! Perhaps if he was a fabulously wealthy young footballer or pop star the story would be different. The fact he's a chubby bald middle aged bloke seems to make it more 'outrageous' and sordid in the eyes of the media. Although, I suppose if it was a footballer or pop star the Sunday papers would be full of 'exclusive' sories sold buy fame hungry nobodies desperate to raise their profile.......🤷🏻♂️ John Torode........ desperate to deflect any attention away from himself and protect his own career........thanks mate.......... Hasn't the world become a total mess.............🤷🏻♂️

Hasn't the world become a total mess.............🤷🏻♂️ Absolutely, and the foremost question in my mind was why Kirsty Wark didn't speak out at the time, surely she wasn't jeopordising her career at the time as a Beeb heavyweight against a bald fat old man who I believe was a grocer to trade. My own Masterchef ironically is never opposed to a quick cuddle in the galley unless she is exceptionally busy, so it's all a case of balance and play with your playmates isn't it. I guess Torode will be off the Wallace Christmas card list  Pity he hadn't met this nasty bitch a marriage made in heaven.
