So what you are saying is the BBC take a cut of the phone call cost as well as donating some to Children In Need ?

NO !!! :ohmy:

He was talking about telephoning in generally.

Interesting in retrospect isn't it though ?

What came first - the premium rate phone line or the reality televsion concept ?

I think my post above answers the question.

Slightly off the point but I briefly worked in childrens television production in a minor about 13 years ago when I left college.

My boss was told by a BBC presenter (whose name escapes me) that in the future mosts popular television programmes will have an element of people ringing in on a premium rate number because it's a licence to make money.

How prophetic was that ?


What have fake limbs got to do with it?

Thank f*** this finishes in around 40 minutes.

I shall be writing to the BBC about this shambles I pay for as a licence fee payer.

Not my cup of tea but very popular and it has to be better than the myriad of stupid game shows that normally pollute Saturday evening schedules.

Ramprakash was quality throughout, most of the female population and a significant proportion of the fruity male population would go there, I give his marriage two months.
