So lets get this straight, BBC News would not let its journalists do work for the BBC Comedy Show 'The Bubble' for fears that it would damage the Beeb's journalistic integrity and would mean that its journalists would not be taken seriously - yet an odd comedy skit is OK?

While I have no problem with the BBC doing things like this if they want, It does seem like a bit of flawed logic.


Yes. Being on The Bubble would involve newsreaders reading out fake news stories. Making a video for a song does not involve such a thing. Do you understand?

Is it the same reason why they do Children in Need?

Is that perhaps because it was another BBC News programme, or that they had over-run?

Definately not to do with over-running, if anything the documentary started at 9.14am.

Was the documentary on the News Channel as well?

No. Just BBC1. And they's been doing the same all week, part 3 of the documentary this morning (Wednesday).
