It is also a massive news organisation that I still have a great deal of trust in, despite the Hutton report - it would be stupid to tar the entire operation on the basis of a single, high-profile cock-up.

Last Monday in fact parked my butt on the chair enjoyed a terrific new series The Deputy on the Beeb. Woo hoo about time to a TV drama to enjoy.
What a gem this new series was to be.
How wrong could I be as it was not a new series but a one off because thos arses at the Beeb have no doubt wasted the budget on Eastenders.
No way was it screened as a one off or at least it never seemed that way to myself and it seemed to lead nicely into the next episode.
Jack Dee even starred with a nice personal/career vendetta developing with Warren Clarke the 'deputy'.
Grrr good ole Beeb drop us a taster of what could have been a good series and blow the budget elsewhere.
