Blue Peter

So Blue Peter has become the latest institution to become embroiled in the Premium Rate Phonecall Scandal; losing the details of the competition winners and picking a child at random from the studion guest list.

Silly comment heard on the radio this morning: "...is this just a case of insufficient training in what standards are expected?".

Well, if you are running a competition where people are paying money, since when was it acceptable to fake the outcome? You have to wonder how far things have slipped when this happens: where will it end?

"We mislaid the ballot papers so we decided to offer No.10 to the first person who walked in through the door. So please welcome the new Prime Minister ... Lembit Opik".

Could be worse, if he was chivalrous he might have let his 'cheeky' girlfriend go first...
