Personae non gratae

[dextrous63]

Jay Blades, of Repair Shop fame has been a naughty boy allegedly and so the BBC is taking off air any future things with him in it.  We all know that this seems to be the norm with other "celebs", eg Saville, Harris, Edwards...

The question is ..... why?

Surely showing repeats or other prepared shows would remind others with a similar proclivity of the dangers involved if and when they are exposed and quite possibly may act as a deterrent.  Any royalties from repeats could be given to victims or related support groups.

After all, not all of their work was bad and it's throwing the baby out with the bath water.

i'm guessing that the bbc don't want to remind viewers the sort of recipients their licence fee pays.

As we've paid for them, surely we have a right to have access to them too?  After all, it wouldn't be mandatory to watch them and there are other channels available.

Me too.   Found it hard to imagine to be honest.

They are reporting alleged coercive control and abuse of his missus,  but I shall wait and see the outcome.
