Complaints log again. Thanks once again.

Re. Item on shortage of public toilets: “It annoys me that lavatories are often called ‘toilets’ on the BBC. I really don’t understand this.”
Whatever next?! Negroes presenting the news??!!?

“It seems common place on the BBC that if someone is talking in a foreign language they use a voiceover. When they do this we don’t really know if what the voiceover is saying is true.”
Good point. At the end of the piece, they should get the foreign speaker to confirm, via the translator, that the translation was ok.
BBC NEWS GENERAL
Re. Knife attacks: “I would like to see the BBC comparing the danger of violent attacks for young people living in the UK with the dangers of being a soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq. I suspect it might be more dangerous to live in the UK than to be in combat in these warzones.”
If you like warzones so much…
COAST
“Neil Oliver has to be got rid of. He is revolting.”
I don’t know who Neil Oliver is but there’s every chance you’re right.
EASTENDERS
Feels that the programme contains too much violence. “It doesn’t make for wholesome family viewing. I would like to see more comedy in the script.”
And maybe finish off with a musical number every week.
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH JONATHAN ROSS
Feels that the programme is of a poor quality. “I want a reduction on my licence as I never watch this programme.”
I’m not sure how many people work there answering the phones but I think you bunch of pointless, whinnying fartshowers should have to pay at least twice as much as the rest of us who settle for throwing our shoes at the telly.
SCHEDULING GENERAL
“The APPRENTICE: THE FINAL FIVE programme was due to start at 22:45. The time is now 46 minutes past.”
It’s just more EU and government propaganda. They’re trying to provoke rioting.

That last cunt was just waiting for the clock to tick over so he could press “enter” on his pre-typed message. Bet he felt all smug when he got it posted, shame that no-one gives a shit.
I’ve always wondered if the person who sorts out the translations often messes about with them for a laugh. Nothing malicious mind.
Perhaps he should have used that minute to question the wisdom of tuning in to watch that bunch of grasping, dead-eyed halfwits in the first place.
It does happen, just maybe not as a joke.
I imagine I would feel a lot safer at war than wandering the streets round here- at least I know that nobody is trying to “get rid of me” in Afghanistan

“It seems common place on the BBC that if someone is talking in a foreign language they use a voiceover. When they do this we don’t really know if what the voiceover is saying is true.”
The best bit is that they always use a dodgy accent too, just so we don’t forget it’s a foreigner talking.
Personally I wish they’d use subtitles. Is there anyone I can contact to make my views known?
You can easily solve two of those complaints in one fell swoop….
Why don’t they film/set Eastenders in Afghanistan?
It would be much less violent and more lighthearted.
They could call it Further East Enders.
Get off that internet.
I don’t like Jonathan Ross either. He’s vulgar, low-brow and resorts to lavatory humour too often.
Remember there are still some ignorant pricks who don’t speak every language known to man (decline in education, A-levels being dumbed down and all). On the other hand why whould we speak any other language at all? Britannia rules the waves. I’m confusing myself…
But maybe they just put a voiceover to prevent the charisma and influence of the speaker to poison our minds, like the dubbing of Gerry Adams’ interviews in English.
Shame he left it until the last episode of the series to complain. If I were the scheduler in question I’d immediately start shunting the start time back and forth by random multiples of 30 seconds every week. Any blank space could be filled with the words, “This delay is due to the mouthy cunt whose time is SO DAMN IMPORTANT”
Did the Apprentice start late? Or was he just showing off that he can tell the time?

This guys on to something. I’m going to get my copy of TV Quick, or whatever the bollocks it’s called, work out the exact percentage of programmes on BBC channels that I watch and then email the Complaints Log with my revised amount due. But what about the radio? This isn’t as simple as it looks you know. Maybe I’ll just unplug the tv and put my fingers into the socket…
I actually did once work out what refund I was due from the BBC for the utterly dire, beyond piss-poor, swirling-round-the-plughole-of-pointless-celebrity-infatuation half hour of famedazzletime that was Double Take. It worked out to 2p though I did not, I admit, account for radio or online expenditure. I decided to let them off.
I always thought Eastenders was a comedy or at least some fantasy programme where no fucker swears, some fat bald cunt is the local hardman…
Though I think they should relocate to Austria seeing how nearly everyone on Albert Square is releated to one another somehow.

How do you know what the foreigner is saying is true? I mean they are foreign.
How do you know they’re not an actor? Is anything true? God it’s a worry isn’t it?
I find it particularly piquant that the people complaining that they can’t trust what the foreigners say are the ones who uncritically swallow every line the Daily Mail spews without fear of agenda or distortion.
Voicovers must be regulated properly

I think this person has been watching too much Eurotrash.
@ James&c
Everybody knows the Daily Mail’s subtitle is FACT!! – so it must be true. Obviously.

Personally I refer to it as the “Shitter” but I suspect Radio 4 would disagree
“COAST
“Neil Oliver has to be got rid of. He is revolting.” ”
Revolting against whom? Perhaps he is subliminally sending messages to COAST viewers provoking them into attacking Belgium…. Could happen….
