Should the bbc be paying Jonathan Ross with our licence fees so much money to teach our population to swear?

Answer 1

No, he is not worth the money. His interview with David Cameron (and no, I'm not a Tory) was puerile and smutty. Is that the best he can do? A teenager could have come up with those questions - and that would have been more excusable.

Answer 2

Thing is, I'm not really a keen gardener. In fact, all the talk of 'jeraniums' and whatnot is a bit tedious, I think, and I'm probably not alone, so I could easily question why our licence money is being spent to make Gardeners World, but it doesn't bother me, because I don't have to watch it, though someone else might want to, and if they want to, so what? Good for them.

As for Wossy, his show is broadcast after the watershed, and he's payed to entertain on the telly, and if he happens to say a faw words you don't like while he's doing it, so be it. If you don't like it, no one puts a gun to your head forcing you to watch it... unless you've just lost your remote control.

I don't think it's fair to blame Ross for teaching children how to swear. As a kid, I'd pick up words from the playground, as you did, whihc would have come from kids with the sort of parents who probably should be prevented from breeding anyway.

Answer 3

despite the rights or wrongs, the regulation says you could desire to pay the licence fee in case you have equipment able to receiving stay publicizes - despite in case you compromise with it or no longer. in case you do no longer pay the licence and finally end up in courtroom, the Magistrates won't supply a fig approximately your evaluations on the BBC! the reason I watch BBC fantastically much solely, is with the help of the fact there are no longer any commercials and the generally happening of the programmes broadcast.

Answer 4

You can't surely be blaming Wossy for the fact that every kid in this country over the age of about two knows a swear word. Blame the parents. If you've got a problem with swearing on TV either take it up with the appropriate body or turn the bloomin thing over!! Common sense!

Answer 5

No, he is a t w a t . If we had a choice, of what to pay for, by pressing a red button on a bbc remote controll, "do you want to pay for this to be on next week"... television would be a different story.
Yet, strangely, it is our money, and the technology is there, to do this, with live shows, for starters.....exactly how accountable IS the bbc?

Answer 6

So they dont swear already then?Real people swear in this real fuckin world that we live in.Get over it!..How about you start by not paying your t.v. licence? I dont pay mine because I think it's highly unfair that I have to pay so much for a couple of channels I hardly watch.Why have you singled out J.R? dont you get him?

Answer 7

Change channel if your so upset. You people really wind me up,A programme on after 10.30pm And your crying/moaning/getting on your f@#kinghigh horse about a bit of fu%king swearing. I'm 100% sure that 95% of the people that watch J.Ross would dislike the programmes that non swearing people would watch- i.e songs of praise. but we dont complain about too much God Bothering etc etc

Answer 8

We have sunk to such a level old Wossy is actually good entertainment as thing go.

Answer 9

yes i like paying hundreds of pounds for a licence. in fact i think we should pay more.

Answer 10

He is not as funny as he thinks he is...& I'm no prude but I' am bored with his constant puerile humour. Every week it's more about him than his guests who often seem to laugh out of politeness or embarrassment.
