ooh, a credit roll? That's nice. I've only had my name credited on screen once (despite playing a part in thousands of hours of telly making it on air)

TVF had one every year on the old site, so I'm assuming you would have cropped up on those as well! However, because the old site had a box on the homepage that usually just scrolled images, it didn't look as awkward as it does this year...

On a different note, I wonder if you would mind taking a look at the errant apostrophe in your TVF signature:

'I sat there and thought "Oh Jeeper's'

Should you not also close the inverted commas on the phrase too?

Its my new year resolution to get out more.

Oopsie. It's a quote from someone who got very excited over BBC News moving to NBH so I didn't change his apostrophe, but I should have closed the quote with the inverted comma...

Not to highjack things but this is my fave credit I think I've had...

I don't think many people get to go next to NASA on a credits roll

Well you certainly don't get any credit for your moderating "skills"...

*boom*

I came off Tv Forum a few months ago as I was getting fed up with the wannabe moderators on there jumping on there every time I posted something that involved someone in the media industry that was quoted in the papers, accusing me of being a stalker.

Just popped on there now and they're accusing some other poor sod invading some BBC presenters privacy because he saw them in the street.

I made the right decision personally.

That site is being ruined in my opinion by the wannabes on there.

I know people slag Digital Spy off but it seems better than TV Forum nowadays.

(Plus you can discuss radio on there without the assholes on there moaning 'It's a Tv Forum'!

I was already warned by Asa unfairly in my opinion, about discussing the Tim Willcox Sophie Long situation despite it being mentioned in the papers plus some asshole moaning about a post of mine in the Daybreak thread, which was the last straw.

I'm sorry to leave the site but until the moderation is more tolerant & also gets rid of the wannabes on there, I've had enough.

Ps Don't bother sending me a rude Pm as I shan't be reading them.

(What's the internet equivalent of a two finger salute by the way? )

1) Digital Spy isn't a forum dedicated to television presentation and related discussion.
2) Digital Spy has an ignore function so your often creepy and disturbing posts can be blocked from view.

TVF differs in both regards.

On the otherhand, the SNR in the Newsroom has improved since your departure, something I can only thank you for.

Well I'm not missing you either pal!

I did enjoy your updates on Radio WM etc, no idea why you got so much stick over it. I'd rather read that than a bleeding rota list - the magical art of TV newscasting reduced to who's on at 9 on Thursday week.

Mary looked after the evening bulletin(Did she do the lunchtime?)

Nick has done the 1025 tonight.

(Malin did the brekky bulletins!)

Rare appearance from Kate Forster doing the weather.
