10 Times Celebrities Took the Piss Out of BBC

Funny how Piers Morgan can rant over people “being snowflakes”, but when HE faces the slightest scrutiny, he walks off in a huff … hypocrisy much? 🤔🤷‍♀️

We used to tango each other as kids all the time and it did really hurt 😂😂

"Minipops had kids sing and perform sexually and provocatively"

I remember watching Ghostwatch as a 13 year old. Scared the living crap out of me. I was totally convinced it was real up until the nonsense in the studio. Really entertaining though, especially as it was 10 years before Most Haunted hit our screens.

16 was the best thing to happen to GMB

Piers Morgan ruined his own career during that morning in 2021 on GMTV.

Obviously what is today's news is tomorrow's chip wrapper but moments like that aren't forgotten that easily.

I can't really see him appearing on BBC or ITV anytime soon.

A toddler throwing a tantrum sounds like an apt description for Piers Morgan.

nothing funnier than seeing Piers Twat Morgan being schooled by a weatherman then walking off like a 'snowflake'
I love the parody of the Richard Bacon incident by Armstrong and Miller. 'One of the dancers took me to the back of the club to see if i could help her get a job in the media...'
No Brasseye though? a show that ripped the piss out of the UK gutter press's moral outrage stories and pointless crusades? The Pedogeddon special was one of the most complained about programs in history

[Kerosene.Dreams]

Mother Teresa was evil, though. As was Ghandi and Columbus. I despise how no one is allowed to speak on the fatal flaws of these figures. Clone High was taken down and redone for the same reason.

I remember watching a Saturday morning children's programme that had Depeche mode singing let's play Master and Servant.

Lol Piers Morgan really does not like the truth

Janet Ellis was sacked from BluePeter for getting pregnant outside marriage.

Nevermind the Tango adverts, they had a black bottle of Tango that had to be withdrawn, because they exploded on shop shelves. 😁

I didn’t know there was a UK version of this channel. Now I know where I’m spending my lazy afternoon

I thought the whole CBB Roxanne Pallette would have been on here. I thought she was the reason that series was cancelled.

That Inbetweeners episode is a certified classic

[MadCatPerson]

Two other shows sprang to mind while watching this: 1) ’Ghostwatch' reminded me of Paul Daniels 'Iron Maiden' stunt on his live Halloween special. Once again, the BBC switchboard was jammed with calls out of concern for Paul. Ironically, Daniels schemed it up in the aftermath of 2) the tragic death of the member of the public who was invited to perform a stunt on Noel Edmonds 'The Late Late Breakfast Show’, just months before. The show was understandly cancelled and Noel spoke candidly about how it affected him.

Two of the red triangle broadcasts were two banned violent episodes of The Professionals, which didn't appear unedited on DVD until years later. As a fan of that show I taped them. Now I have the DVD box set with all the episodes restored, which have never been shown unedited or sometimes at all on television.
The Sweeney has shared the same fate, because what you see on television, is not what was originally shown in the seventies and early eighties.

[imahappycamper]

The BBC got rid of Deayton as it wasn't a little boy/girl and therefore he went against the norms and morals of the BBC.

[TwoWholeWorms]

The stories of kids ending up in A&E weren't unsubstantiated. Source: me, who got smacked on both ears Tango-style bursting both my eardrums by one of the other kids in my year, and it ended up going to a magistrate's court and all I got for it was 40 quid. :|
