I remember watching this announcement as a kid and thinking he was worse than Hitler without even really understanding what was going on. Looking back they're all on coke. It's TV...
The two things are not in the same category. Saville was so bad, he has his own category, as do the people who failed to stop him. We should think of them as a group rather than Saville as a mere individual.
I'll never forget this. When she said he snorted an illegal drug i.e. cocaine my heart shattered and my innocence in this world was pulled away from me forever!
…… and then all my clothes fell off, it was at this time some white powdery stuff entered my nose and made me feel ill, so ill in fact I had to run around shouting and hitting people.
Condemnation of the individual rather than act itself is very unhelpful and this attitude has contributed to the hate fest of antisocial media today. The act was wrong, he did the right thing by admitting it was wrong and he was fired. There should have been a clear statement, however, about all the good things he did, how they appreciated his work and friendship and that they wish him the best for the future.
@@R_Jackson "We are sorry and upset by any of this, but we wish Richard well, and rest assured, we will continue to make sure that Blue Peter continues to be one of your favourite programmes."
a great example of higher ups not having a clue. It would have just been better to have said sorry for the total fuck up of our presenter who just like most adults is prone to fucking up. We'd rather he hadn't done this but that's life. This however just came across like false cringe and is rightly mocked
He wasn't the first or the last. Michael Sundin was sacked for dancing with a male stripper in a gay bar and the show briefly employed John Leslie, whose scandals were far bigger.
Briefly…it was 5 years? He wasn’t sacked either, neither was Michael Sundin, he simply didn’t have his contract renewed at the end of a series. He was clearly quite effeminate and this was only the mid 80s. He died of AIDS only 3 years later.
“And then Richard had to be taken home, because was poorly on the carpet and some chairs.”
This is perfect😂😂😂
so patronising!
And then he accidentally bit a photographer on the nose. Quite hard. He now realises this was wrong.
He later made a serious of mistakes in his trousers, something both Richard and ourselves have agreed was wrong, and could have been avoided.
😂
"... and then he accidentally bit her on the nose. Quite hard."
Haha just watched that clip then saw your comment here 😂👍
"...And he now realises... that this was wrong-uh"
This absolutely must be the inspiration for the Armstrong and Miller Blue Peter apology sketch.
100%
"One of the Sunday newspapers...."
Yes, hadn't quite realised that it was inspired by real events until now.
I remember watching this announcement as a kid and thinking he was worse than Hitler without even really understanding what was going on. Looking back they're all on coke. It's TV...
Meanwhile, Saville continued to be protected and enabled.
Imagine Jimmy Saville presenting Blue Peter. LOL. 😱😱
One L is Savile. Easy to remember. He was saVILE.
A smart career move that turned out to be for Bacon.
its time for todays blue peter where Richard is in Colombia
'...where stuart is hanging out with Idi Amin in Uganda. '
"Richard Bacon you are a very naughty boy and mummy is very upset with you".
She sounds like a disappointed headmaster
she looks like one as well
The Demon Headmaster
She’s not angry she’s disappointed
Classic middle class Mum 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like my manager when nobody wants to stay after 5 and wait for the last driver!
Ah, Armstrong and Miller, I see what you did there.
I had a random memory of this video and literally cant believe it's actually on TH-cam 😭
Now Stuart is in Dundee at a cake museum
Dundee cake specialist
compared to what Saville did when he was at the BBC Richards a saint!
The two things are not in the same category. Saville was so bad, he has his own category, as do the people who failed to stop him. We should think of them as a group rather than Saville as a mere individual.
did they take his blue peter badge back
Calum Wattie They did mate. He tells a good story about the whole thing, including BP presenter Katie asking for her wedding invitation back!
"...And Pippin."
I remember watching this as kid thinking, “What is this?”.
Ahhhhh, this is the source of the Armstrong and Miller sketch series. I see.
I only know him for "Oblivion". He ridden the ride when it first opened.
Maybe I watched too much GI Joe PSAs, but I expected her to say "don't do drugs, kids" or something like that.
Otis The Aardvark was told to do one, for the link into the show.
I remember thinking wtf this isnt blue peter it's some random woman named lorraine
At least he didn't bite someone on the nose 😂
Great find! Been looking for this for ages
Stuart is in Uganda. And it'll be shit compared to Noaksie climbing Nelsons column in his flares and army greens.
He got caught. That was his real crime.
Anyway, thanks for bringing back Doctor Who.
Ill take the thanks back after turning him into a woman!
they had to take it off to bring it back
I remember watching this as a kid back in the day and thinking how much I’d like a line or spliff.
PMSL
At least he didn’t let the school down
😂😂😂
A chest freezer pippin and some plastic bags
Ironically he now presents a Police program
God I remember this.
Bollocks to it they're all on drugs.
still waiying for doogle to resign from magic (mushroom) roundabout), and i used to love puff the magic dragon as a kid, he needs to appologise too!
Stuart in Uganda, what's he up to? Smuggling!
Just as well he didn't do any wrestling in an alley.
Kirsten was cute. This was my era of cbbc .
surprised eastenders is still on...i suppose they can't sack a whole cast
She has very mean eyes
Haha yes i noticed that too.
why did I always think it was Biddy Baxter who made this announcement
but then she'd gone about 10 years before
What did she take?
After losing his job, did Richard go to The Coach and Horses to drown his sorrows and enjoy some more of his special powder?
I'll never forget this. When she said he snorted an illegal drug i.e. cocaine my heart shattered and my innocence in this world was pulled away from me forever!
I could have been worse....he might have been given a hundred lines.....
Not to be sniffed at
Or sent to bed without any supper.
…… and then all my clothes fell off, it was at this time some white powdery stuff entered my nose and made me feel ill, so ill in fact I had to run around shouting and hitting people.
I hope it was good shit for his troubles.
RIP Pippin
She looks like a headmaster.
I only know of this from the Armstrong and Miller apologies.
It's called "cocaine", kiddies!
Very scary eyes what pierce into my soul
From that day forward Blue Peter should have renamed itself Egbert NoBacon!
But surely this helped him cope with the show?
Scandal at the BBC.... Of only they'd stopped here.
And then cut to Stuart Miles "discussing Uganda" LOL #PrivateEye
The fact that this happened on a kids show - wow 😮
Bruh... all over the good green stuff?...
And now we join richard bacon doing a drug deal with your License fee money in some dodgey toilet cubicle.
I almost to got to the end thinking this was a sketch - whatever it's actually a joke....
So in the meantime, Jimmy Savile will stand in for Richard…Now then now then..
What a load of old cobblers!

Yes! I was just thinking a bit of warmth would be nice. If she'd only added, "we wish him well" it would have been less cold.
@@R_Jackson "We are sorry and upset by any of this, but we wish Richard well, and rest assured, we will continue to make sure that Blue Peter continues to be one of your favourite programmes."
It's a shame that the so called Team BBC kept the likes of Savlle on though isn't it.Oh well "its only Jimmy" as Thatcher would say.
I thought from the title that Blue Peter had offended the Jewish Community.
Lorraine explains that Richard can no longer present Blue Peter as a result of his drug related stupidity.
Rylan got recorded asking for coke and he didn't lose his job
Drugs no!!!!, pedos?thats fine.......
TODAY ON BLUE PETER IM GOING TO USE COKE SORRY MENT TO SAY MAKE A MODEL FROM AN EMPTY COCA_COLA BOTTLE
I watched Blue Peter but after reading what Richard had done I stopped
1:11 To scam people with the phone in competitions.
Calling a drug addict an "idiot" is the true mark of a Tory
Your comment is the true mark of a bigot
So if Richard didn't take the drug, he might've been here today?!
What cocaine? Lol
But when did he bite him on the nose?
Perhaps she could have been a bit more patronising?
And there still doing it today ruining people’s careers on tv for something so small and stupid

Very sombre
suprised eastenders is still on tv then...
lmfao
LOL, just LOL...
It was right to sack Bacon. Nowadays he'd probably be promoted!
I prefer his brother Chris P
Get a bag of gear and chill out a bit love...
He was cute though
Who’s the lady announcing “Today’s Blue Peter”?
Kirsten O’Brien
@@AutisticRaider Thanks
What did he do?
coke
@@rickhardman7376 what were they apologising for?
@@evacameron6288 Because he did coke everyone knew .. he was supposed to setting a good example to kids
