Anybody see the 'celebration' of Nationwide on BBC4 last night? It put this weeks hoo-hah is very clear perspective

A 26 year old pay-back is what this is, I'm suprised no-one has suggested this so far. In the early 80's, Margaret Thatcher fell out with the BBC big style over Sue Lawley & co's style of questioning, and the result of which was Nationwide (which up until then had enjoyed a 14 year lifespan & unfathomable popularity) was pulled, something that certain people in the Beeb have lamented ever since. Fast-forward to 2009, and what do we find? Thatcher's daughter enjoying some sort of popularity on 'The One Show', which to all intents and purposes is Nationwide updated... Somebody overhears her saying something slightly controversial and BOOM! National scandal and a payback of sorts.... and that really is all this is, old fashioned grudge-bearing, brown-nosing and managerial bullying

Yes - you are totally right.

This looks like revenge for the demise of Nationwide.

I actually like the ONE SHOW and it is a real shame they ( Like the MET POLICE ) have decided to become POLITICAL on behalf of New Labour.

Adrian should apologise live on air for being a BABY

Then get Carol back on and let the BBC Get on with what should be a light entertainment programme.

Occurs to me that if the BBC had it in for the Thatcher family they would not have employed Carol in the first place.

I used to enjoy Nationwide. The One Show does not even compare.
