Are they actually censoring a Channel 4 show after 10pm? Even after the CA warned us of strong language?

The bleeping (or sound effects) might be better at highlighting the amount of swearing that Ryder did - they could be using it for effect rather than actually censoring the content.

Fair point. Now that I think of it, if they kept in his f-words from his Johnny Rotten performance, it wouldn't have been nice on the ears.

This has veered from cringeworthy to a best bits package. Hardly any original content whatsoever. Weird night.

Grimshaw has ruined the R1 breakfast show and he'd ruin TFI Friday.

Realistically I think if this show was to carry on it would cling on to a mid-30's audience so they would really need to choose someone older than Grimshaw if Chris no longer wanted to carry on doing it.


Nick Grimshaw has not ruined the Radio 1 Breakfast because he has attracted more young people, which if you didn't know was what he was put there to do.


He was put there to make older listeners turn off, not attract more young people.

Relevant Guardian quote:
Quote:
Grimshaw now has 2.6 million listeners aged 15 to 29, down from 2.8 million in Moyles’ last three months on air

Five minutes to go and no Clarkson yet, they're really overrunning!
EDIT and there he is!

The reports were really overselling it when they said it could be Clarkson's first post-sacking TV appearance.

It should also be noted it's going into a break when it's supposed to be finishing...

EPG has given it an extra 5 minutes. It's going into the break at 5 minutes overrunning so I think it might be a 15/20 minute overrun. They could've really done with scheduling it for 2 hours.

Says a lot when Alan Carr is playing second fiddle to a 19 year old format.

There's a handful of people on Twitter saying they want it to end now... Confused

Although some have said how grateful they are for fending off Alan Carr.

On until 2249 by the look of it.

They're overrunning for real now.
