None at all and the truth is in my post above; he was hired as researcher by Jeremy Fox and abandoned when Ch4 dropped the project. Simple. |

so what then? surely you have no reason not to tell the truth |

Nope. |

big dave |
you had nothing to do with it.
he was interviewed by someone else, along with many others you never saw, and you met on his first day, noted he had a great attitude and befriended him.
something like that? |

Well Big Dave... many years ago I came up with a format for a music series called No Speed Limit and my co-producer was to be Jeremy Fox and the broadcaster Channel 4 TV.
Jeremy gave Jonathan Ross the job as junior researcher underneath myself and Gordon Elsbury, my director.
However, both Jeremy and John Cummins (the Ch4 commissioner) let me down; having snapped up Gordon to direct Soul Train (13 weeks) and No Speed Limit (13 weeks), they dropped my format.
I then convinced Graeme MacDonald to let me do it on BBC2 instead with Peter Hamilton taking the Gordon/Jeremy role and it became No Limits hitting ratings of 5.7 million and topping the BBC2 chart.
Soul train got cancelled. |
