Right after Vincent, I'm genetically conditioned to expect another dose of card or angel reading. Can't get used to this feeling of nothingness...... But I'm doing my best to wean myself off.

There's a missing psychic in 'Without a Trace' tonight....Oh the irony

This was due with the committee at the October meeting but was put back to November because there was 'a problem obtaining the tapes'.
I don't have scanner but you shouldn't have too long to wait for publication.
Meanwhile; the committee's summarising paragraph in relation to section 3.2.1 says:

However, upon review of the program it was evident to the Committee that no measures were taken by the presenter of the teleshopping segment to restrict the comments of the caller once it became apparent that he was making offensive comments in respect of a named individual. In this regard, the presenter continued for some minutes to converse with the caller even after it was clear that offensive remarks had been made.

I wonder if the presenter has included this in his new book.;)

Our man in Havana

A good result there.

wnolan1992

Scanner on the blink.

Complaint 77/12: Referred to the 27th of August, where Flathan said "I am not a doctor, but I think there is a grandchild on the way.", then later feigned ignorance of the rule.

• Upon its review of the programme it was the Committee's view that the broadcast included references to pregnancy. Accordingly, the item was deemed not to comply with the BAI General Code.

spookwoman

Think we are starting to see why it was pulled. Well done everyone

82/12 was the one where TV3 told me basically to mind my own business as I was a 3rd part and got a little snotty

Our man in Havana

"provided in accordance with all relevant regulations"

Roffle! Not had a good laugh in ages. They really believe they can do no wrong.

The newspapers need to report this rubbish.

wnolan1992

One downside of sending all those complaints;

GMail has evidently picked up on the fact that a lot of the emails going in and out lately have had the words "Psychic" in them...

All the ads I'm being served with now are those bloody "Seventh Sense Psychic" ones. :P

Or maybe a certain beautiful lady is trying to contact you and draw you under her spell

Not for me anyway, I'm getting psychics ads with an old lady called Norah on it. I think Wnolan has sabotaged my interwebs so as to keep me away from the lovely hungarian lady.

spookwoman

So far 3 upheld and 1 referred to Comreg

27 August -Section 8.10.4 (pertaining to health matters)
5 September - Section 8.10.2 (predicting future events)
6 September - Section 8.9.1 (Premium-rate telecommunications services) (Referred to Comreg by BAI)
7 September - Section 3.1 (protecting the individual and society)

I have Norah too, and she's offering FREE readings. These forums on PRL are so huge i'm wondering if all the other forums are getting them as well, so if they are they can blame us.

Wnolan I hope the Hormone forum is not getting them

I wish you luck with that.
I contacted them about an aspect of the show and finally got a reply yesterday.

Dear brian This has since been cancelled -

Spookwoman, you and the others deserve to be knighted!. To have the determination, patience and knowledge to carry on your campaign in the face of such scorn and resistance from TV3 is truly admirable. Victory must taste so sweet......
As we say in my part of the country, 'hup ya boy ya!'

omg you guys did it congrats but what will i do now at night ?

The cards tell me that you guys won't be invited to TV3's Christmas Party now.

I know you'll be heartbroken, but you can't argue with the cards

Watching the Late Late there. Now that Flathan doesn't have a role in Irish television, maybe he could take over from Tubridy. He'd be a better interviewer than Tubbs.

(But then, so would my cat)

Fair play for posting this! I never saw this show and wondered at the legend that was the Pink Tractor call! I don't think the Father Ted writers could've scripted it better! Excellent.

BeerSteakBirds

but what's changed really ? Do shows which make fantasy claims in return for exploiting the vulnerable still broadcast their shyte if they so wish to ? And continue to do so without the screen being plastered with warnings ? If cigarettes have health warnings then so called ''psychics'' (or charlatans is a more accurate word) should be forced to carry a psychiatric health warning in my opinion.

But Auld-Yin, spookwoman and the others could only deal with the Irish TV stations, and the Irish Broadcasting Authority, and they did that with spectacular success. And if (when ) TV3 tries it on in the future, they'll have the lads to deal with again.....!

spookwoman

This is actually quite shocking - it reminds of 'All the Presidents Men' - it's a complete 'non-denial denial' - they doubt the complainant, but don't say that she was wrong.

Certain newspapers would have a field day with that.
