Just took a look at the schedule For Tuesday, November 17 2009
and what did I read?
“12:00 AM
Top Gear - Episode 3
TV-PG
James sets up another drag race between a Bugatti Veyron and a plane, but this time ups the stakes by borrowing a Eurofighter Typhoon from the Air Force as the competitor. Rock legend Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones visits to test his driving skills. Season 10 Ep. 3”

Does anyone at BBCA ever watch TG? It was Richard who had the drag race with the Euro Fighter and it’s
“The Royal Air Force”. Sorry BBCA but you really need to get your act together. You are not representing the BBC at all.
Rant over.

That’s really a bit amazing.. Good thing we all already know what all the shows through season 12 have in them!

I could be wrong, but you’ll have to prove it.

It shocks me… The BBC used to be so well run, and is being destroyed by letting unpaid interns do most of the work.

Unpaid internships are a bunch of BS.  I’d never accept one.

I may be wrong about this, and I’ve not doubt I’ll be corrected, but I think that the BBC is a government funded entity.  Which means that they never have enough money for anything.  So they try to get by with the most cost effective workforce they can, and let’s face it, unpaid is pretty cost effective…....

I wouldn’t have taken an upaid internship in my younger days either but that is because I like to have things like shelter, and food.  And books.  Let’s not forget books.
