Does that Spencer Kelly bloke get away with his licence payer funded globe trotting ? He was in Australia today doing some " tech experiment" with a female beach volleyball player ! ( Not jealous ! ) but this is hardly a ratings grabbing show is it ! I only catch the end of it before BBC Breakfast , but he goes all over the globe to shows , all I can think is the bean counters haven't caught up with him yet ? Counted 14 people credited at the end as well 🙁
While I'm at it what do those other bods on Steve Wright do in between spouting inane crap once an hour ? The Old Woman Janey Lee Grace Tim Smith et al ? Thought the beeb were cutting back allegedly ? Is there somewhere / one who is accountable to have a pop at anyone know ?

I presumed it was filmed as a series, so they'd spend a week in Oz, week in China, Japan, India, Korea, etc, then come back to London to edit it.

Either that or the gadget manufacturers pay for it, probably costs little more to fly him and a few people out than it would to fly a guy to London to demo the gadget to him?

Click is made by BBC World, which is privately run and funded. It doesn't cost license fee payers anything.

that's why.

As mentioned click is wholly funded by BBC world, you're actually not paying a penny for it.

The lot of the Steve Wright show, inbetween the bits where they aren't on they'll be writing, editing or researching their next bit.

I don't blame you for being annoyed at the Steve Wright show though...

What does Steve Wright himself do in the 90% of the programme that is just jingles?

Serious jockin', serious tossbag more like. I've changed my work hours so that Steve Wright has finished by the time i get in the car.

Worst show on any BBC channel.

Yeah I just got that on Wiki. Does that mean BBC news subscribes? As in, pays? Or does BBC World News give it away?

People in foreign countries subscribe, plus there are commercial buyers - airlines pay for it to run on in-flight channels, hotels buy it, that kind of thing.

If you mean does the news channel and breakfast pay to show click (and reporters for that matter) no, just as stuff is given to BBC world news by BBC news if they want it.

Now that's saying something. It's still frigging annoying how they pack the schedules with 'sounds of the bloody sixties' and Elaine Paige's weird laugh, or Paul O'Grady talking about dogs and playing utter shite whenever I have to drive somewhere at the weekend.
