    Did anyone think this dude was always a bit odd? Even as a child watching Jim'll Fix It I thought he was a weirdo. Why the surprise about the allegations? Did no one in the industry think 'What an oddball'?

    Hmmm, wonder will the condemnation of the BBC for letting this happen be as vitriolic as that heaped upon the Catholic Church for letting it happen? Let's hope so.

    So many people in that industry are a bit touched though. Oddball yea. Paedo seemed almost too obvious though didn't it.
    In the same way people say now how did nobody realise Sir George Michael is gay.

    Why not say something at the time? Look at all the pain and suffering you've allowed to happen!

    Yea because the BBC has such a track record for this :rolleyes:
    You do see the difference in a one off and an organisation that has been defending and covering it up for years?

    I'm sorry to have to abuse my mod powers by posting in a locked thread but I really have to add this:

    Weirdo =/= child molester, either.

    Thank you.
