      Are you bald? Wear glasses? Work for the BBC? Then you, yes YOU can be a wrong ‘un.

      Harry Hill is lucky he works for ITV.

      Are we reaching the point where we need to reintroduce the concept of state sponsored eunuchs? Effectively creating a social class of TV and other light entertainment presenters who can be specifically trained and managed for their role.

      Jeez, and from a wholesome daytime tv show no less.

      What’s next, the host of Bargain Hunt being exposed as a sexual predator?

      Is it any wonder that our country is demoralised and unproductive. It feels like every ‘hero’ the media creates turns out to be a monster

      Can we just go wtf and accept some men rape? Are you ok with it?
      I was raped aged 18. .
      I didn’t choose to be raped.
      It has made my mental health very different
      Go fuck yourself mainly

      Why does the BBC hire so many of these types of people. They should consider hiring someone under 40.

      Anyone. No one watches the BBC anymore

      What is going on with the BBC? Those threating letters they send after you cancel your TV licence should be sent back to them including mugshots of the perverts they employ.

      Just googled and in the past year his marriage ended and he quietly stepped back from presenting.

      In hindsight, classic signs that some kind of criminal charge for skeezy behaviour is imminent. At least if it’s a BBC presenter.

      Wasn’t he in court earlier this year for coercive control? I think it went not guilty

      Horrible news for the victim involved in this, but I have always found it weird how BBC immediately removed him and edited Repair Shop episodes to avoid his appearance or audio, while they’re showing MasterChef as is despite both hosts being sacked.

      Is it one of those cases where the severity of the crime changes action (I admit I wasn’t aware Jay’s accusations were quite this severe) or something?

      And the narrative of the BBC being a breeding ground for rapists and sex pests continues

      My other half and I would have repair shop on in the background. The guests almost always bring in items belonging to dead relatives. I suddenly found myself amused at the idea of people bringing in their dead relatives to be repaired, so I knocked [this](http://sndup.net/q8fb8) together.
