The point of ‘punch gate’ was that he didn’t hit her yet she set about on a campaign to have everyone believe he was a ‘wife beater’… yes that’s what she said about him at the time. She reported him in the diary room and then spoke individually to other housemates stating he had assaulted her. So rather than the ‘final thought’ being you shouldn’t hit women, it should be ‘don’t make up false accusations of serious crimes’. I watched this when it first aired and what Ryan Thomas went through in that house because of her was absolutely shocking, it was an outrage and it’s why it’s at the top of the list.
It was horrible because she managed to convince so many of the other housemates to start with. Bb should have shown that footage in the house and nipped it in the bud but they were more concerned with ratings!
They were "play fighting" both jokingly hitting each other. He punched her arm, everyone could see it was not a hard punch, it was playful. She made it seem like he really assaulted her. She knew he was the favourite to win and wanted him evicted. Since that show his career has continued to grow, while nobody sees her on TV anymore
It didn't even really show it in this video, anyone who's seen it is in no doubt that Ryan did nothing wrong, he's such a lovely guy, and she could have ruined his life with this.
Regarding punch gate he never hit her, it was shown hundreds of times and next to no contact was made as they was both playing around. She made out that he full on punched her. It went on for days of her turning the house against him and tried to ruin his career. It was heartbreaking seeing Ryan being isolated from everyone and pretty much having a mental breakdown. She deserved everything she got when she came out.
With punch gate, Ryan didn’t actually do anything wrong, Roxanne accused him of assaulting her and was trying to turn everyone against him literally using the words “woman beater” but because it’s big brother everything is filmed so the whole of the uk knew it was bullshit and were outraged. It was hard to watch, seeing what Ryan was going through.
The last clip 'punch gate', the girl, Roxanne, made it up that Ryan hit her.. even though on the replay you can see he barely touched her, and it was done in a joking way, they were both joking around. She turned the other house mates against him with her lie. It got to the point that Big Brother had to say something inside the house. The she come out and apologised. It came out later that she had accused other people of similar things in the past.
I was in a worst situation than that guy, a girl i knew accused me of assaulting her, i got arrested and it went to court. Whilst waiting for the court appearance she went around everyone i knew and turned ALL of them against me (i was completely innocent). The court case finally came and my lawyer ripped her story to shreds in the courtroom, he did such a good job that in the dock she admitted she made it all up. Her reason for trying to destroy me was because i gave her a knockback, i knew what kind of girl she was and wanted nothing to do with her, that infuriated her and decided to get revenge on me. When she admitted in the dock what she done the relief drain out of me so fast it overwhelmed me and i hit the deck. In the days that followed the people who she turned against me could not look me in the eye with shame and i have never spoken or even acknowledged their existance till this day.
@@garymcatear822 I had a mate do 9 months on remand for a "rape" only got out when the woman admitted she made it all up, there is a lot of focus on protecting women from violent men at the moment and rightly so but notice how nobody cares about the amount of false accusations? And there are many.
There is a male/male couple competing right now on SCD and they're very good I watched that series of BB with Ryan and Roxanne. She was nasty. He was just being playful with her in front of half the house and the moment she was alone she begged BB to call her to the BB chair. So it looked like Big Brother decided to step in. Then she basically lied and cried and spied private conversations so she could come across as much as a victim as possible. Ryan Thomas was actually brought to tears a couple of times as she turned everyone against him . So satisfying to hear the shouts on eviction night of get Roxanne out. You could see how much it meant to Ryan that he has so much support outside.
Ryan didn't hit Roxanne, that's why it caused so much outrage and a lot of her former work colleagues came out and said she had pulled stunts like that before. She pretty much destroyed her own career on TV for doing what she did to Ryan.
You've never seen a full grown adult male, break as hard as Ryan did during 'punchgate'. It was actually heart breaking, he honestly thought his entire life, career, relationships etc were over, right then and there, the devastation just swallowed him completely and he was broken and sobbing his heart out the entire time. She labelled him a wife beater, claimed he'd whacked her _so hard_ she then took each housemate aside in private and attempted to have them join her 'side' and ruin Ryan, she was extremely dangerous because we were watching first hand, a woman play fighting one minute, laughing and joking... then 1 minute later, walk into a bedroom and whisper into her mic that she wanted big brother to call her to the diary room. They called her in, and at that very second EVERYTHING just suddenly exploded, from absolutely nowhere whatsoever. The lies she put into her story were flowing way to easily, it was mind blowing. We had been watching absolutely everything, big brother had seen it all on camera, yet she would not stop with the BS. Roxanne Pallette ended up leaving the bb house and for the first time in its history, a contestant was evicted without a live audience, in fact she didn't have ANYONE there apart from the host Emma Willis, she tore into her, made her answer to everything, and I think it was only at this point, she finally began to realise how deep into her lies she was, and how her career and life as she knew it, had just ended at the hands of herself. On the live final, each of the contestants that were evicted were shown the actual footage of it all going down and one by one they realised the severity. Ryan went on to win that series, and when he seat down to his interview he broke all over again, except this time it was because he knew at that moment just how many people had seen or heard about it, and how every single one of them were backing him fully, and stood by his side. It was such an emotional ending, but one that absolutely NEEDED to play out in that way, not just for Ryan's sake, but for victims everywhere that were thinking they were forever tarnished because of such a disgusting, vindictive and dangerous lie being spread about them. They really didn't cover it well in the video you watched, but it was _to this day_ the WORST case shown on TV of a woman blatently lying about DV and being a victim of an abusive male. The entire country were outraged, give it a search on here to watch the entire thing as it happened. You'll have to pick your jaw up off the ground! Roxanne had multiple people come out afterwards saying they too had been a victim to her fabrications, and she's not been really heard of ever since leaving. Her career was just done. And good bloody riddance!!!
Re the last one, Ryan was joking around but didn't touch Roxanne when he did it. The problem is that she was fairly manipulative and tried to turn the others against him which led to him being in tears and when she was interviewed by Emma after she walked they had to do it without a crowd in fear on what would happen. It later emerged that she had done similar things in the past.
Brass Eye was excellent satire. That one got slated by an MP who brought it up in parliament, afterwards admitting they hadn't seen the episode. The drug "Cake" episode was also brought up in parliament because the MP hadn't done any basic research, "Cake" didn't exist.
It's TV. The marks were manipulated into thinking they were going to get something back from pretending to know, and care about 'cake'. It highlighted their hunger for publicity. However they were lied to, IIRC, and the producers had manipulated them into doing the pieces to camera. It's not quite how Brasseye want you to see it.
No. 9 about drag queens was nuts. When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, drag queens were family viewing. The biggest one on TV was Paul O'Grady, AKA Lilly Savage and he was on prime time Saturday night TV. I guess it was the dancing that did it.
@David Davies, you're obviously right about drag queens but if you go back even further than that to the 1960's and early 1970's who among us can ever forget Danny La Rue, Dick Emery, Stanley Baxter and especially Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough with their hilarious Cissie and Ada characters and sketches? Oops, I almost forgot Kenny Everett dressed up as Cupid Stunt as well. "....and then ALL of my clothes fell off - but it was all done in the best POSSIBLE taste! " - Kenny Everett " Ooh, you are awful....but I like you! " - Dick Emery My how times have changed especially when you consider that Stanley Baxter dressed up as the Queen during one of his sketches and tried to smuggle the Crown Jewels through Customs, didn't (s)he? There wasn't a public outcry about that because we all saw it for what it was - just comedy, didn't we?
@@Phil_A_O_Fish Of course. How could I forget Kenny? I used to love his shows. There was also the serialised sketch that The Two Ronnies did, titled "The Worm has Turned," where they were dressed up in women's clothing. The point is that it wasn't a big deal back then, which is actually bizarre because people were more conservative in their views by today's standards. Some of it might be the fact that there was so much of it on TV that we were desensitised to it. Because there's now very little, people blow a fuse over it.
“Last month a notorious paedophile was blasted into space to spend the rest of his life in a one-man prison vessel, posing no further threat to children on earth. But it was revealed that an 8 year old boy was also placed on board by mistake” is also a brilliant bit in the episode 😂😂
OfCom is the regulatory body 'The Office for Communications'. They regulate mobile phones, postal service, Broadband/WiFi and also TV and Radio too. They can levy fines and such, people can submit complaints in regards to anything they cover Inc TV and they will investigate and if deemed necessary can levy a fine etc. They deem if a complaint is looked into further and if action needs to be taken.
You need to watch the Big Brother clip. Yes, it is wrong to hit women, but until you have seen the footage in question maybe don't assume that's what happened. Hugs from one of your Wales peoples xx
No he doesn't silly woman why would he want to waste his life watching that ? . And why would any one want to watch him watch that? silly woman that's why these reaction channel's are all carbon copies of each other divvies like you asking for nonsense to be reacted too it's pathetic
The last one about the assault on big brother, Google the whole segment and you'll see what he did, nothing. She has accused colleagues before of assault which weren't caught on camera. She has/had a dangerous illness which had negatively impacted others. She looked young but was 34 or 35 when in big brother. Great upload, thanks.
He never hurt her, she lied. The public were outraged at her false allegation that’s why he won. He remained a gentleman. I think to show Jade and Shilpa is so disrespectful Jade died so young it was a miss conception that she was racist. Jade herself from a mixed race couple. Shilpa Jermaine Jackson and Dirk all stood in the kitchen before that incident referring to Jades family as white trailer trash. Only Gloria Hunniford had the courage to ask Jermaine about that he refused to answer. Jade RIP thank you for getting cervical smears introduced for everyone even Ireland 🇮🇪 brought out what was known as Jades law.
She didn't get cervical smears introduced, they were already available 🤦♀️ People just got them more often, but people are starting to not bother again
@@minoumcduff5727 she rose awareness they reduced the age. We didn’t have it in Ireland thanks to Jade we do. She had a heart of gold. Alright for Jermaine Jackson on the second night to have a giggle referring to her family as white trash. She apologised to Shilpa it’s Shilpa who should’ve apologised for that comment that continued into the bathroom. They were very sly in the manner they put her family did, Jade lost her temper and said it all out loud. No one else was made answer for what happened except Jade. May god forgive them all. She went over to the Indian big brother as a contestant to prove she wasn’t racist got called to the diary room to be given that horrible heartbreaking news. Shilpa hosted that, they had both patched things up. Sad that clip was sent included let her rest in peace
Hey buddy.I'm sure others here have pointed the last clip out. Roxane,the Big Brother girl LIED that Ryan "hit" her and carried on falsely making him out to be a woman beater which reduced him to tears.Everyone saw thru her lies as she has falsely accused others. Poor Ryan could have more emotionally wrecked had no one wizened up to her bullshit
With regards to Strictly Come Dancing, they’ve been doing a lot more same-sex stuff recently, which is amazing. I don’t understand why anyone watching Strictly could be homophobic - it’s a dancing show for god’s sake! I get it’s a staple of British culture but it’s so so camp and the most iconic judge (imo) is openly gay. JT you should watch the professional dance to Taylor Swift’s ‘Lover’ they did a few weeks ago - it’s beautiful
I'm a 71 year old gay man and lived through a period where queer bashing and, what's now called, homophobia, was rife. I spent my younger years hiding my sexuality and pretending I was just a normal guy. HOWEVER, even I don't like to see same sex couples on strictly. Ballroom dancing is about beauty and elegance and, whilst same sex couples can demonstrate artistic skill, the beauty and elegance is missing.
That Eastenders one was bloody awfully timed for me. It was around the time that a friend and I were expecting sons days apart. My son was born early and didn't survive. My friend in time had a healthy baby but was initially terrified to let me close to him. Bastard bloody show
My good how awful for you. It seems that when you go through something terrible it comes up on everything on tv. I hope you and your friend are OK now and you are managing. x
The problem with those ‘top ten’ compilation videos is that they don’t explain the story enough or give enough context. The explanation for each one is too brief. The Kim Woodburn one for example didn’t really explain much of what happened on Loose Women, or in the CBB house. Glad to see the Roxanne Pallet story made number one though. That situation was truly awful, & had it not been for the camera’s, would have completely ruined a man’s life. Although, I am not sure why they kept showing Ben Jardine whenever they mentioned Ryan Thomas. I just need to add though, that yes it goes without saying that men should not hit women. But the point of the Roxanne story is that he did not actually hit her. She literally made the whole thing up! After it happened, several previous co-stars of hers (from both stage shows & tv) came forward to say that she had done a similar thing to them To answer your question JT, Ofcom are the broadcasting regulators here in the UK. The public can make complaints to them, & then Ofcom assess whether the broadcaster broke any rules or regulations in airing the issue that the complaint was made about.
"I am not sure why they kept showing Ben Jardine whenever they mentioned Ryan Thomas" - It's because its from a WatchMojo video. That channel is pretty notorious for not bothering to do much research or fact check anything because they pump out about 3 or 4 videos A DAY. They don't have time for all that lol. They're also known for not actually having much of a clue about the subject matters they talk about, hence the lack of context. They probably don't 'get it' themselves! They only care about pumping out clickbait-y content
That episode where Ronnie stole the baby was HUGE news in the UK, even if you didn't watch the show you heard about it. Some people got the actress and character confused and she got some very real hate and threats sadly
Ghostwatch is excellent, I remember first seeing it, it was almost like the modern version of War of the Worlds. We've only been able to get it on DVD in the last few years. Love your videos, always makes me smile.
I remember watching it! It was presented as a serious investigation into some weird stuff that had been happening in the house and the fact that they used well-known TV presenters really sold it. I didn't "get" that it was scripted until well into it. It was fantastic!
Where can I get it on dvd? I remember watching this show when I was like 11 and totally falling for it. i only watched it coz I had a crush on Sarah Greene and ended shatting mysen
@@CathyWeasly Exactly, I remember this.. it was played extremely straight with the usual documentary / saturday night format with presenters taking information from the public and it was presented as a live show. It was only near the end that people twigged that it was scripted.
Ghostwatch was Fekkin' Brilliant. Scared the crap out of me until it went overboard, and the guy doing the voice of the Poltergeist was listed in the credits.
Remember watching it as a kid, freaked the shit out of me & my sister! There was a bit with "haunted plumbing" & I had pipes in my bedroom, did not sleep for about 3 nights.
I think the problem was that it was advertised as if it was a real show. For nearly all of the show it was pretty much debunking the supposed incidents of ghosts in the house, then it went crazy at the end. You were left watching it thinking "this can't be real" but also wondering why the BBC would fake it. It was only in the credits that it became clear it was a dramatisation.
This is EXACTLY the problem with Roxanne Pallet she was NOT hit. She LIED and had it not been caught on camera, the stigma and abuse anyone not believing Roxanne would have bee immense. It was such a huge thing at the time, those who watched saw how he suffered and how his life would be changed forever and loose his career because of her lies. As time goes on, people will missremember and her lie become fact, it's sad and outrageous for a woman to lie about such a thing, and she may have done it many times before. Ryan did NOTHING wrong, NOTHING.
JT, why did you say _can't be hittin' women?_ You saw the controversy, he didn't hit her! You should have said, _can't be makin' shit up about being hit._ Especially women for obvious reasons.
Heyyy JT hi from Birmingham England loving you vids I've been watching for three weeks and I'm catching up on all of them I think your a lovely lad and spread happiness everywhere thank you for liking my country so much xxx
Roxanne Pallett is from my home town of Carlisle and had tried that same shit before my friend accidentally bumped into her in a pub and she went crying to the bouncers saying he had pushed her hard and he was not very nicely ejected when we were watching this live on TV he was going mental and shouting all sorts at her I don't think she has got any acting work since lol
She's disgusting. Women like her, who falsely accuse men of physical abuse, should receive the prison sentence their accused would have received had they been found guilty. Thankfully the cameras were there to protect Ryan on that occasion, many men aren't so lucky.
I’ve got it on dvd and it’s hilariously bad, especially thinking people really fell for it. Sure it was scary to watch the first time it went out “live” we came from the pub early to watch it.
@@johexxkitten bad today because the networks are full of ghost shows lol, but this was something completely new. I thought it was a good laugh, very well done and was amazed such a large number of people got pissed off lol.
@@swannvictor1388 I’m not saying I didn’t like it. I freaking LOVE it, we watch it on Halloween every year. It’s just looking bad it doesn’t look it was scary at all. But back then we couldn’t pause, rewind, watch those “wtf” moments again. I still remember the guy who called in to the studio, he was welsh and he said it was so scared because his cheese on toast fell off the arm of the sofa... “it frightened me to buggery it did...”
@@johexxkitten 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I haven't seen it for years, I must try to find a copy somewhere. Poor old Mike Smith (rest in peace - he was a nice guy; chatted to him a few times at the Beeb,) and Sarah got some stick from people for doing the show which was a shame, as I thought they did a good job. I just wish the BBC or any other company could be as inventive these days. They actually invented a whole new genre lol.
Roxanne hoped her career would be catapulted to new heights after lying about Ryan hitting her, well it backfired and she aint really worked since, not if you call Bear Grylls and Celebrity Coach Trip actual work.
Don't understand why British audiences were upset at drag queens parading around as women, on the grounds that it (Strictly Come dancing) was a family show. British audiences are well known for taking their kids to see a Pantomime, where Pantomime Dames (men in drag) parade in front of children, and women dress as men to play the roles of the leading man, such as in Peter Pan and Dick Whittington. And of course there's also what's known as 'Trouser Roles' in opera, where women play and sing male characters, such as in Handel's Julius Caesar, and that does not offend anyone. In both cases, no one is trying to deceive the audience, as to what gender the dancers, actors and singers are.
You missed the point. He DID NOT hit her. She LIED to get him into trouble. Possibly a police matter for assault. She did actual victims of assault a massive disservice by making this up.
?? were you paying attention lmao ? the point of the last one was that he DIDNT hit the woman. so why did you say 'you can't be doing it, you can't be hitting women' like he was in the wrong? he was falsely accussed lmao
JT , it is not ok to hit women without a damn good reason. Having said that, they were play fighting and you didn't watch the whole incident. She phucked up and Ryan was in bits about being accused.
I think the gay thing will never go away as it's human nature. If you are heterosexual you can't understand or comprehend why two of the same sex could have a sexual relationship because they don't have those feelings, in fact the opposite. All they can do is 'tolerate' it. Some can and some can't.
Can't be hitting women? He didn't which was the point and why he won the show and why she was apologising for making it all up, keep up mate, she was lying and she had plenty of previous.
"Can't be hitting women" Personally i disagree. My opinion is that you shouldn't hit anyone without due cause. To give some examples: if a woman or a man is attacking a child and the father witnesses it then in my opinion the father has every right to hit whichever adult is harming his child. Likewise if a guy is being beaten up by a woman then he has every right to hit back in self defence
Most people don't now that this bit where he got in trouble for saying he'd have people shot was actually the last 15 seconds of a 90 second exchange. It was an obvious joke that the media took out of context to create a story.
I’ve never really been a fan of big brother so didn’t watch it a friend told me about the punch gate incident and so I looked it up and was horrified to see what was going has I too had been accused of hitting/beating someone up wrongfully my college tutor treated me like s so it was disgusting that she did that she could have ruined his career but in the end she ruined her own so many people get away with false accusations with nothing to teach them that it is wrong and once the accusation is out there it can’t be taken back with a simple apology once someone has been ruined
The last one, he was shadow boxing and dancing around the room like you see a boxer doing at no point did he hit her or any other person in the house in the house. She ran to the diary room complaining that he had punched her, forgetting that there were at least twenty odd camera's in the house and one had caught a close up of what happened which was never shown on tv only the long shot that you saw. It was only after she left the show and found out that other people on the outside were not supporting her and was supporting the man still in the house who at that point was going through hell thinking that the country were believing her side if the story, although Big brother producers called him in to the diary room to talk about what had happened and that she had told them that he had beaten her up they assured him that they had not seen him strike her and gave him chance to tell his side of the story, The public came out on his side. On the outside of the house and on live tv she said sorry and that he had ONLY pretended to hit her and had in fact not touched her at all, it ruined his career on a British soap before she went on air and said he did not hit her they had sacked him the damage was done.
Ofcom is the regulator for TV, the internet etc, it is the British equivalent of the FCC. It can fine companies and in extreme cases remove companies' licences, but that has never happened. Good to see Maggie again.
Clarkson was right that people committing suicide by jumping in front of trains are selfish. So are those who jump off motorway bridges. Aside from the minor inconvenience to those whose journeys are delayed, there is the enormous trauma caused to train and road vehicle drivers who might find a fresh corpse accompanying them in their cabs, or adhering to the front of their vehicles.
Brasseye was awesome laughs. Even this episode, viewed through the prism of the BBC's attitude to the likes of Jimmy Saville which was happening at the same time, starts to stray into the field of "Insightful Journalism" (But not completely, "Playground Bangaround" was firmly two feet on the wrong side of the line...) The episode On Drugs was hilarious, From approaching shady characters on the street asking for drugs that don't exist, through ways to dodge the law including suspending drugs from a helium balloon and holding the end of the string so you're not in possession and using drug trafficking Mandrills, to getting celebrities to warn the kids of the dangers of "Cake".
I used to watch brass eye and it was funny AF. It got canned because he made fun of celebrities who would jump on any "cause" without doing any actual research on what they were supporting. 5 mins work would have told them that it was fake.
The final one… He actually didn’t do anything… She set out to tarnish his name and have him branded as a “wife beater” when he actually did nothing. She was shown to be a very manipulative person & the fact that Ryan Thomas eventually won the show, just proves that the public also knew nothing happened. She was a truly vile woman for her actions in this & thankfully, the public could see that - it’s just the housemates who struggled for a bit, as they couldn’t see what we all could. However, she actually pretty much ended her own career over it, rather than it having too much of a negative impact on his 🙌🏼
Thing is, he portrays himself as a toxic tory POS all the time, so expecting people to discern when he is being that and when he isn't being that, is Schrodinger's Asshole.
Most people only know about 15 seconds of the 90 second exchange between Clarkson and the presenters, the bit where he says he'd have people shot. Before the media campaign against him, there were very few complaints, partly because it wasn't actually how the media portrayed it later, but also because no-one watched The One Show. The vast majority of complaints came after the media edited it all down to 15 seconds. Clarkson started off by saying the strikes were great because London was empty, you could go speeding around, restaurants were empty, and so on, then he added "but we have to balance all this because this is the BBC", and then you got the 15 seconds everyone remembers.
I remember recording "Ghostwatch" ...on video...it was a while ago 😆 so that my now ex husband could watch it after he finished work about 11pm. The clip of the ghost on the stairs did it for him...his screaming woke me 👻👻👻
I couldn't sleep without the light on for weeks after 'ghostwatch' it was really scary for it's time. Nobody knew it was a scripted drama, we all thought it was an actual live investigation. There was a bit in the house where you saw a guy in the shadows behind the kitchen door and it terrified me. I'd probably laugh at it now as I'm in my forties lol
Used to watch Eastenders all the time, mostly because that's what my parents would watch. Our old dog (Denver) used to go absolutely mental every time he heard the theme song, even at the 10pm repeats, he would watch it until the end just to hear the song again. RIP Denny boy. The soaps were on every night in our house and I remember watching the Cat and Ronnie baby swap in shock. I must have been about 10-11 at the time and a baby died and her mum swapped the wee one with someone else's baby.
I was 16yrs old when Ghostwatch aired. It was amazing. That clip doesn't give it its full due. I have a DVD of it and it has a booklet with it. And apparently a 15yr old boy killed himself after watching it. It had phonelines for viewers to phone in during the show to report any supernatural activity going on in their own homes. Fake reporters outside the house. Interviewing fake neighbours giving a whole backstory to the street and house. It was mental.
I like your comments about same sex relationships 👍 Why people get upset about them is weird. Nobody’s trying to make it compulsory. Live and let live I say. 🏳️🌈
The problem with OFCOM is that there will be a few complaints about the show and that will be reported in the media and suddenly they get thousands more from people who never saw it.
JT, 13 out of the 4000 people who died due to covid were people I cared for at my care home they were good people, it was bad because we lost them all in 3 weeks.
I suffer from really bad depression, and Ive almosted committed suicide myself, and I still agree that jumping in front of a train is selfish. I believe if you want to end your own life, then thats your prerogative, but dont inflict it onto other people and give them trauma for your choice.
I work in the railway, it happens on avg once a day or two across the UK A lot of them make eye contact with the driver and smile :/ Almost forgot, keep the strength
I think you think that until you're so desperate you can't think clearly at all. I have attempted suicide too, and there's something just different in the way you think and feel that is not normal. You can't rationalise properly, you can't feel properly, and if that gets bad enough, I can totally see how someone would want just a fast and definite end.
I don’t know why they complained about the Drag Queen on Strictly come Dancing when the BBC show a program called RuPaul’s Drag race, a show all about Drag Queens.
Ofcom is the "the Office of communication" and is a government approved regulatory body for many different communications industries in the UK. In the UK there are many such "public bodies" with similar names, but different responsibilities like ofgem "the office for gas and electricity markets". These public bodies are government adjacent (at arms length bodies) in that there are no elected MPs who are in charge of them (if there were they would be called a ministry), but were created by the government to provide a public or government service.
During one series of Big Brother there was a massive fight and the police were called, meanwhile most of the people watching television that night, were watching badger on BBC'S Springwatch. 😆
Something I will never forget; things on tv don’t usually anger me (other than sport lol) but I was seething watching it, so glad it worked out well for Ryan
I was still in the US when Ghost watch aired here, but people have plenty to say about it. A young man with learning difficulties watched it and became convinced his home was haunted, as their radiators and pipes made knocking noises. He ended his life within a week of watching. So in 1992 - it definitely convinced some it was real.
Seeing clips of Ghost Watch now, as an adult, I can see how fake it is. However, when it aired I was just a kid. I didn't see the bit at the beginning telling viewers it was not real, and my family doesn't celebrate Halloween (I still won't now), so I didn't realise it was Halloween. Ghost Watch terrified me, and even though I can see through it now, seeing the clips still brings back memories of how terrified I was.
It isnt featured here but I remember Gerald Ratner wrecking his business overnight when he said something on TV about selling cheap tat in his jewellery shops.
Whilst the "Baby swap" at #5 was a little out there, I remember watching it at the time and being completely invested, it also didn't have much of a effect on the show itself, the actors involved still remained part of the show for several years!
Strictly is a family show so it's inappropriate to show drag queens? Pantomime is entirely aimed at kids and every single one has a drag act in it. These people need to think about what they're complaining about before they put fingers to keyboards.
... well it lowers your resistance and allows cold viruses to thrive whilst the immune system is running on low power, so, although cold weather is not the direct cause of colds it is a major contributing factor in catching one.
Ghostwatch was a cultural phenomenon. I was 12/13 years old when it aired, and there was loads of hype about it at school. Like most people I hadn’t bothered to read the disclaimer and thought it was real, until the over the top ending. It has to rank top 10 TV events of my life.
OfCom is the broadcast regulator in the UK. They regulate pretty much any civilian radio activities including television, radio, mobile phone communication and amateur radio - I had to apply to OfCom for my license when I passed my ham radio exam. They have the power to do anything from fining to shutting down a station if they don't comply to their license rules. IN 2021 they revoked the China Global Television Network's license to broadcast in the UK because they felt they were providing too much of a Chinese bias to their news on the Hong Kong riots - they were off the air within hours.
The point of ‘punch gate’ was that he didn’t hit her yet she set about on a campaign to have everyone believe he was a ‘wife beater’… yes that’s what she said about him at the time. She reported him in the diary room and then spoke individually to other housemates stating he had assaulted her. So rather than the ‘final thought’ being you shouldn’t hit women, it should be ‘don’t make up false accusations of serious crimes’. I watched this when it first aired and what Ryan Thomas went through in that house because of her was absolutely shocking, it was an outrage and it’s why it’s at the top of the list.
Came here to say the same. The WatchMojo video really didn’t make it clear for someone who was not aware of what happened.
It was horrible because she managed to convince so many of the other housemates to start with. Bb should have shown that footage in the house and nipped it in the bud but they were more concerned with ratings!
They were "play fighting" both jokingly hitting each other. He punched her arm, everyone could see it was not a hard punch, it was playful. She made it seem like he really assaulted her. She knew he was the favourite to win and wanted him evicted. Since that show his career has continued to grow, while nobody sees her on TV anymore
@@poppad331 I don’t think he even actually touched her.
It didn't even really show it in this video, anyone who's seen it is in no doubt that Ryan did nothing wrong, he's such a lovely guy, and she could have ruined his life with this.
‘Can’t be hitting women, you just can’t do it’
He didn’t hit her. THATS THE POINT! 🙄
Regarding punch gate he never hit her, it was shown hundreds of times and next to no contact was made as they was both playing around. She made out that he full on punched her. It went on for days of her turning the house against him and tried to ruin his career. It was heartbreaking seeing Ryan being isolated from everyone and pretty much having a mental breakdown. She deserved everything she got when she came out.
I can't believe after watching that you thought Ryan Thomas had hit her, the point was the whole country had seen he hadn't but she was playing on it
With punch gate, Ryan didn’t actually do anything wrong, Roxanne accused him of assaulting her and was trying to turn everyone against him literally using the words “woman beater” but because it’s big brother everything is filmed so the whole of the uk knew it was bullshit and were outraged. It was hard to watch, seeing what Ryan was going through.
The last clip 'punch gate', the girl, Roxanne, made it up that Ryan hit her.. even though on the replay you can see he barely touched her, and it was done in a joking way, they were both joking around. She turned the other house mates against him with her lie. It got to the point that Big Brother had to say something inside the house. The she come out and apologised. It came out later that she had accused other people of similar things in the past.
I honestly don’t think I have ever been as angry at anything on tv! What she did was utterly outrageous was so glad it worked out how it did!
I was in a worst situation than that guy, a girl i knew accused me of assaulting her, i got arrested and it went to court. Whilst waiting for the court appearance she went around everyone i knew and turned ALL of them against me (i was completely innocent). The court case finally came and my lawyer ripped her story to shreds in the courtroom, he did such a good job that in the dock she admitted she made it all up.
Her reason for trying to destroy me was because i gave her a knockback, i knew what kind of girl she was and wanted nothing to do with her, that infuriated her and decided to get revenge on me.
When she admitted in the dock what she done the relief drain out of me so fast it overwhelmed me and i hit the deck.
In the days that followed the people who she turned against me could not look me in the eye with shame and i have never spoken or even acknowledged their existance till this day.
Thank god there was cameras
I don't get rage for anything on TV until that moment how she thought it would work so stupid
@@garymcatear822 I had a mate do 9 months on remand for a "rape" only got out when the woman admitted she made it all up, there is a lot of focus on protecting women from violent men at the moment and rightly so but notice how nobody cares about the amount of false accusations? And there are many.
There is a male/male couple competing right now on SCD and they're very good
I watched that series of BB with Ryan and Roxanne. She was nasty. He was just being playful with her in front of half the house and the moment she was alone she begged BB to call her to the BB chair. So it looked like Big Brother decided to step in. Then she basically lied and cried and spied private conversations so she could come across as much as a victim as possible. Ryan Thomas was actually brought to tears a couple of times as she turned everyone against him .
So satisfying to hear the shouts on eviction night of get Roxanne out. You could see how much it meant to Ryan that he has so much support outside.
Ryan didn't hit Roxanne, that's why it caused so much outrage and a lot of her former work colleagues came out and said she had pulled stunts like that before. She pretty much destroyed her own career on TV for doing what she did to Ryan.
You've never seen a full grown adult male, break as hard as Ryan did during 'punchgate'. It was actually heart breaking, he honestly thought his entire life, career, relationships etc were over, right then and there, the devastation just swallowed him completely and he was broken and sobbing his heart out the entire time.
She labelled him a wife beater, claimed he'd whacked her _so hard_ she then took each housemate aside in private and attempted to have them join her 'side' and ruin Ryan, she was extremely dangerous because we were watching first hand, a woman play fighting one minute, laughing and joking... then 1 minute later, walk into a bedroom and whisper into her mic that she wanted big brother to call her to the diary room.
They called her in, and at that very second EVERYTHING just suddenly exploded, from absolutely nowhere whatsoever. The lies she put into her story were flowing way to easily, it was mind blowing. We had been watching absolutely everything, big brother had seen it all on camera, yet she would not stop with the BS.
Roxanne Pallette ended up leaving the bb house and for the first time in its history, a contestant was evicted without a live audience, in fact she didn't have ANYONE there apart from the host Emma Willis, she tore into her, made her answer to everything, and I think it was only at this point, she finally began to realise how deep into her lies she was, and how her career and life as she knew it, had just ended at the hands of herself. On the live final, each of the contestants that were evicted were shown the actual footage of it all going down and one by one they realised the severity. Ryan went on to win that series, and when he seat down to his interview he broke all over again, except this time it was because he knew at that moment just how many people had seen or heard about it, and how every single one of them were backing him fully, and stood by his side. It was such an emotional ending, but one that absolutely NEEDED to play out in that way, not just for Ryan's sake, but for victims everywhere that were thinking they were forever tarnished because of such a disgusting, vindictive and dangerous lie being spread about them.
They really didn't cover it well in the video you watched, but it was _to this day_ the WORST case shown on TV of a woman blatently lying about DV and being a victim of an abusive male. The entire country were outraged, give it a search on here to watch the entire thing as it happened. You'll have to pick your jaw up off the ground! Roxanne had multiple people come out afterwards saying they too had been a victim to her fabrications, and she's not been really heard of ever since leaving. Her career was just done. And good bloody riddance!!!
Re the last one, Ryan was joking around but didn't touch Roxanne when he did it. The problem is that she was fairly manipulative and tried to turn the others against him which led to him being in tears and when she was interviewed by Emma after she walked they had to do it without a crowd in fear on what would happen. It later emerged that she had done similar things in the past.
Ghostwatch was dire, as soon as it started you knew it was all fake!
Brass Eye was excellent satire. That one got slated by an MP who brought it up in parliament, afterwards admitting they hadn't seen the episode. The drug "Cake" episode was also brought up in parliament because the MP hadn't done any basic research, "Cake" didn't exist.
...and that MP was murdered recently! I mean, nothing to do with Brasseye... but it was a weird way to be reminded of that episode!
It's TV. The marks were manipulated into thinking they were going to get something back from pretending to know, and care about 'cake'. It highlighted their hunger for publicity. However they were lied to, IIRC, and the producers had manipulated them into doing the pieces to camera. It's not quite how Brasseye want you to see it.
A paedophile shares more DNA with a crab than a human being.
No. 9 about drag queens was nuts. When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, drag queens were family viewing. The biggest one on TV was Paul O'Grady, AKA Lilly Savage and he was on prime time Saturday night TV.
I guess it was the dancing that did it.
@David Davies, you're obviously right about drag queens but if you go back even further than that to the 1960's and early 1970's who among us can ever forget Danny La Rue, Dick Emery, Stanley Baxter and especially Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough with their hilarious Cissie and Ada characters and sketches? Oops, I almost forgot Kenny Everett dressed up as Cupid Stunt as well.
"....and then ALL of my clothes fell off - but it was all done in the best POSSIBLE taste! " - Kenny Everett
" Ooh, you are awful....but I like you! " - Dick Emery
My how times have changed especially when you consider that Stanley Baxter dressed up as the Queen during one of his sketches and tried to smuggle the Crown Jewels through Customs, didn't (s)he? There wasn't a public outcry about that because we all saw it for what it was - just comedy, didn't we?
@@Phil_A_O_Fish Of course. How could I forget Kenny? I used to love his shows. There was also the serialised sketch that The Two Ronnies did, titled "The Worm has Turned," where they were dressed up in women's clothing.
The point is that it wasn't a big deal back then, which is actually bizarre because people were more conservative in their views by today's standards. Some of it might be the fact that there was so much of it on TV that we were desensitised to it. Because there's now very little, people blow a fuse over it.
@@Phil_A_O_Fish Don't forget Barry Humphries doing Dame Edna Everage. 'She' was on tv for years when I was growing up!
I still miss Lily…she’s in a convent now isn’t she? 😏
Was it even proper family viewing without a drag queen or gay man in the comedy ensemble in the 1970's?
"This man was dressed, as a school..."
*School starts walking forwards ominously*
That had me lmao i'm glad you laughed aswell
“Last month a notorious paedophile was blasted into space to spend the rest of his life in a one-man prison vessel, posing no further threat to children on earth. But it was revealed that an 8 year old boy was also placed on board by mistake” is also a brilliant bit in the episode 😂😂
OfCom is the regulatory body 'The Office for Communications'. They regulate mobile phones, postal service, Broadband/WiFi and also TV and Radio too. They can levy fines and such, people can submit complaints in regards to anything they cover Inc TV and they will investigate and if deemed necessary can levy a fine etc. They deem if a complaint is looked into further and if action needs to be taken.
@Whatever and what evidence do u have that they are 'far left' lol
You need to watch the Big Brother clip. Yes, it is wrong to hit women, but until you have seen the footage in question maybe don't assume that's what happened.
Hugs from one of your Wales peoples xx
' Wales People ' Really hoping for the moment JT calls us Scotts ' Scotland People ' 😂🏴❤️❤️💪
No he doesn't silly woman why would he want to waste his life watching that ? .
And why would any one want to watch him watch that? silly woman that's why these reaction channel's are all carbon copies of each other divvies like you asking for nonsense to be reacted too it's pathetic
@@Tom-uv7ry You okay ? Tom ? You sound a bit upset about nothing at all 😶 Friendly little channel here ! Are you doing okay ? Sending you a hug 👍
@@Tom-uv7ry you don’t use an apostrophe for a plural… channels*
Silly man.
It is wrong to assault anyone. Women are not special.
The last one about the assault on big brother, Google the whole segment and you'll see what he did, nothing. She has accused colleagues before of assault which weren't caught on camera. She has/had a dangerous illness which had negatively impacted others. She looked young but was 34 or 35 when in big brother. Great upload, thanks.
He never hurt her, she lied. The public were outraged at her false allegation that’s why he won. He remained a gentleman. I think to show Jade and Shilpa is so disrespectful Jade died so young it was a miss conception that she was racist. Jade herself from a mixed race couple. Shilpa Jermaine Jackson and Dirk all stood in the kitchen before that incident referring to Jades family as white trailer trash. Only Gloria Hunniford had the courage to ask Jermaine about that he refused to answer. Jade RIP thank you for getting cervical smears introduced for everyone even Ireland 🇮🇪 brought out what was known as Jades law.
She didn't get cervical smears introduced, they were already available 🤦♀️ People just got them more often, but people are starting to not bother again
@@minoumcduff5727 she rose awareness they reduced the age. We didn’t have it in Ireland thanks to Jade we do. She had a heart of gold. Alright for Jermaine Jackson on the second night to have a giggle referring to her family as white trash. She apologised to Shilpa it’s Shilpa who should’ve apologised for that comment that continued into the bathroom. They were very sly in the manner they put her family did, Jade lost her temper and said it all out loud. No one else was made answer for what happened except Jade. May god forgive them all. She went over to the Indian big brother as a contestant to prove she wasn’t racist got called to the diary room to be given that horrible heartbreaking news. Shilpa hosted that, they had both patched things up. Sad that clip was sent included let her rest in peace
I do think that Jo and Danielle egged Jade on and Jade was just naive.
Hey buddy.I'm sure others here have pointed the last clip out. Roxane,the Big Brother girl LIED that Ryan "hit" her and carried on falsely making him out to be a woman beater which reduced him to tears.Everyone saw thru her lies as she has falsely accused others. Poor Ryan could have more emotionally wrecked had no one wizened up to her bullshit
With regards to Strictly Come Dancing, they’ve been doing a lot more same-sex stuff recently, which is amazing. I don’t understand why anyone watching Strictly could be homophobic - it’s a dancing show for god’s sake! I get it’s a staple of British culture but it’s so so camp and the most iconic judge (imo) is openly gay. JT you should watch the professional dance to Taylor Swift’s ‘Lover’ they did a few weeks ago - it’s beautiful
Craig or Bruno?
I'm a 71 year old gay man and lived through a period where queer bashing and, what's now called, homophobia, was rife. I spent my younger years hiding my sexuality and pretending I was just a normal guy. HOWEVER, even I don't like to see same sex couples on strictly. Ballroom dancing is about beauty and elegance and, whilst same sex couples can demonstrate artistic skill, the beauty and elegance is missing.
That Eastenders one was bloody awfully timed for me.
It was around the time that a friend and I were expecting sons days apart.
My son was born early and didn't survive.
My friend in time had a healthy baby but was initially terrified to let me close to him.
Bastard bloody show
My good how awful for you. It seems that when you go through something terrible it comes up on everything on tv. I hope you and your friend are OK now and you are managing. x
The problem with those ‘top ten’ compilation videos is that they don’t explain the story enough or give enough context. The explanation for each one is too brief. The Kim Woodburn one for example didn’t really explain much of what happened on Loose Women, or in the CBB house. Glad to see the Roxanne Pallet story made number one though. That situation was truly awful, & had it not been for the camera’s, would have completely ruined a man’s life. Although, I am not sure why they kept showing Ben Jardine whenever they mentioned Ryan Thomas. I just need to add though, that yes it goes without saying that men should not hit women. But the point of the Roxanne story is that he did not actually hit her. She literally made the whole thing up! After it happened, several previous co-stars of hers (from both stage shows & tv) came forward to say that she had done a similar thing to them
To answer your question JT, Ofcom are the broadcasting regulators here in the UK. The public can make complaints to them, & then Ofcom assess whether the broadcaster broke any rules or regulations in airing the issue that the complaint was made about.
I was wondering why Ryan Thomas looked so different
"I am not sure why they kept showing Ben Jardine whenever they mentioned Ryan Thomas" -
It's because its from a WatchMojo video. That channel is pretty notorious for not bothering to do much research or fact check anything because they pump out about 3 or 4 videos A DAY. They don't have time for all that lol.
They're also known for not actually having much of a clue about the subject matters they talk about, hence the lack of context. They probably don't 'get it' themselves! They only care about pumping out clickbait-y content
That episode where Ronnie stole the baby was HUGE news in the UK, even if you didn't watch the show you heard about it. Some people got the actress and character confused and she got some very real hate and threats sadly
That was actually the last episode of eastenders I watched….it just didn’t sit right on sooo many levels
Ghostwatch is excellent, I remember first seeing it, it was almost like the modern version of War of the Worlds. We've only been able to get it on DVD in the last few years. Love your videos, always makes me smile.
I remember watching it! It was presented as a serious investigation into some weird stuff that had been happening in the house and the fact that they used well-known TV presenters really sold it. I didn't "get" that it was scripted until well into it. It was fantastic!
I loved it
Where can I get it on dvd? I remember watching this show when I was like 11 and totally falling for it. i only watched it coz I had a crush on Sarah Greene and ended shatting mysen
@@CathyWeasly Exactly, I remember this.. it was played extremely straight with the usual documentary / saturday night format with presenters taking information from the public and it was presented as a live show. It was only near the end that people twigged that it was scripted.
Ghostwatch was Fekkin' Brilliant.
Scared the crap out of me until it went overboard, and the guy doing the voice of the Poltergeist was listed in the credits.
Remember watching it as a kid, freaked the shit out of me & my sister! There was a bit with "haunted plumbing" & I had pipes in my bedroom, did not sleep for about 3 nights.
It's the only repeat I'd willingly sit down and watch on TV.
At the time it aired I missed the disclaimer and credits, I actually thought it was real,didn’t sleep for 3 days after 🤪
How can anyone swallow that shit as real 🤣🤣🤣
I think the problem was that it was advertised as if it was a real show. For nearly all of the show it was pretty much debunking the supposed incidents of ghosts in the house, then it went crazy at the end. You were left watching it thinking "this can't be real" but also wondering why the BBC would fake it. It was only in the credits that it became clear it was a dramatisation.
Ofcom received over 50,000 complaints and did nothing but they received 5 complaints about a different subject and the complaint was upheld.
chris morris is my hero! the day today and brasseye are my fave shows ever and you would be a god if you react to them! PLEASE JT!!!
Do this one JT, watching very-serious celebs, mp's & sports stars etc warning of the dangers of dangerous designer drug 'Cake' is brilliant!
Getting celebs to say "I'm talking nonce sense" and not twig to it was legendary 🤣
I’d love to see a reaction to Peter O’Hanraha-Hanrahan 😂
This is EXACTLY the problem with Roxanne Pallet she was NOT hit. She LIED and had it not been caught on camera, the stigma and abuse anyone not believing Roxanne would have bee immense. It was such a huge thing at the time, those who watched saw how he suffered and how his life would be changed forever and loose his career because of her lies. As time goes on, people will missremember and her lie become fact, it's sad and outrageous for a woman to lie about such a thing, and she may have done it many times before. Ryan did NOTHING wrong, NOTHING.
Paedogeddon was legendary. Everybody should watch it at least once..
JT, why did you say _can't be hittin' women?_ You saw the controversy, he didn't hit her! You should have said, _can't be makin' shit up about being hit._ Especially women for obvious reasons.
Heyyy JT hi from Birmingham England loving you vids I've been watching for three weeks and I'm catching up on all of them I think your a lovely lad and spread happiness everywhere thank you for liking my country so much xxx
That school disguise! hahaha I'm British and never seen or heard of that!
Roxanne Pallett is from my home town of Carlisle and had tried that same shit before my friend accidentally bumped into her in a pub and she went crying to the bouncers saying he had pushed her hard and he was not very nicely ejected when we were watching this live on TV he was going mental and shouting all sorts at her I don't think she has got any acting work since lol
She's disgusting. Women like her, who falsely accuse men of physical abuse, should receive the prison sentence their accused would have received had they been found guilty. Thankfully the cameras were there to protect Ryan on that occasion, many men aren't so lucky.
She now lives in the US after marrying a firefighter from New York
I had forgotten how funny Brass Eye was. Must track down some old episodes!
'Ghostwatch' was absolutely superb drama and I laughed so much the way people freaked out!
I’ve got it on dvd and it’s hilariously bad, especially thinking people really fell for it. Sure it was scary to watch the first time it went out “live” we came from the pub early to watch it.
@@johexxkitten bad today because the networks are full of ghost shows lol, but this was something completely new. I thought it was a good laugh, very well done and was amazed such a large number of people got pissed off lol.
@@swannvictor1388 I’m not saying I didn’t like it. I freaking LOVE it, we watch it on Halloween every year. It’s just looking bad it doesn’t look it was scary at all. But back then we couldn’t pause, rewind, watch those “wtf” moments again.
I still remember the guy who called in to the studio, he was welsh and he said it was so scared because his cheese on toast fell off the arm of the sofa... “it frightened me to buggery it did...”
I was a kid it was wild live and freaked me out
@@johexxkitten 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I haven't seen it for years, I must try to find a copy somewhere. Poor old Mike Smith (rest in peace - he was a nice guy; chatted to him a few times at the Beeb,) and Sarah got some stick from people for doing the show which was a shame, as I thought they did a good job. I just wish the BBC or any other company could be as inventive these days. They actually invented a whole new genre lol.
Roxanne hoped her career would be catapulted to new heights after lying about Ryan hitting her, well it backfired and she aint really worked since, not if you call Bear Grylls and Celebrity Coach Trip actual work.
Don't understand why British audiences were upset at drag queens parading around as women, on the grounds that it (Strictly Come dancing) was a family show.
British audiences are well known for taking their kids to see a Pantomime, where Pantomime Dames (men in drag) parade in front of children, and women dress as men to play the roles of the leading man, such as in Peter Pan and Dick Whittington. And of course there's also what's known as 'Trouser Roles' in opera, where women play and sing male characters, such as in Handel's Julius Caesar, and that does not offend anyone. In both cases, no one is trying to deceive the audience, as to what gender the dancers, actors and singers are.
You missed the point. He DID NOT hit her. She LIED to get him into trouble. Possibly a police matter for assault. She did actual victims of assault a massive disservice by making this up.
?? were you paying attention lmao ? the point of the last one was that he DIDNT hit the woman.
so why did you say 'you can't be doing it, you can't be hitting women' like he was in the wrong? he was falsely accussed lmao
JT , it is not ok to hit women without a damn good reason. Having said that, they were play fighting and you didn't watch the whole incident. She phucked up and Ryan was in bits about being accused.
I think the gay thing will never go away as it's human nature. If you are heterosexual you can't understand or comprehend why two of the same sex could have a sexual relationship because they don't have those feelings, in fact the opposite. All they can do is 'tolerate' it. Some can and some can't.
In the last clip. HE NEVER HIT HER!
Ps. She also used to date his best friend and they didn't like each other but made up on big brother days before 'assaultgate'
Can't be hitting women? He didn't which was the point and why he won the show and why she was apologising for making it all up, keep up mate, she was lying and she had plenty of previous.
I remember watching Ghostwatch, I was 8 at the time, and it scared the crap out of me.
I’ve rewatched it quite recently and it’s hilarious. Love it!
Roxanne Palett wasn't 17 when she was in BB. She was in her late 20's at least
"Can't be hitting women"
Personally i disagree.
My opinion is that you shouldn't hit anyone without due cause.
To give some examples:
if a woman or a man is attacking a child and the father witnesses it then in my opinion the father has every right to hit whichever adult is harming his child.
Likewise if a guy is being beaten up by a woman then he has every right to hit back in self defence
Clarkson is old school tongue and cheek, which you can tell with tone. We have to have balance, I'd rather have people being raw and honest, and fun.
Most people don't now that this bit where he got in trouble for saying he'd have people shot was actually the last 15 seconds of a 90 second exchange. It was an obvious joke that the media took out of context to create a story.
I’ve never really been a fan of big brother so didn’t watch it a friend told me about the punch gate incident and so I looked it up and was horrified to see what was going has I too had been accused of hitting/beating someone up wrongfully my college tutor treated me like s so it was disgusting that she did that she could have ruined his career but in the end she ruined her own so many people get away with false accusations with nothing to teach them that it is wrong and once the accusation is out there it can’t be taken back with a simple apology once someone has been ruined
The last one, he was shadow boxing and dancing around the room like you see a boxer doing at no point did he hit her or any other person in the house in the house. She ran to the diary room complaining that he had punched her, forgetting that there were at least twenty odd camera's in the house and one had caught a close up of what happened which was never shown on tv only the long shot that you saw.
It was only after she left the show and found out that other people on the outside were not supporting her and was supporting the man still in the house who at that point was going through hell thinking that the country were believing her side if the story, although Big brother producers called him in to the diary room to talk about what had happened and that she had told them that he had beaten her up they assured him that they had not seen him strike her and gave him chance to tell his side of the story, The public came out on his side.
On the outside of the house and on live tv she said sorry and that he had ONLY pretended to hit her and had in fact not touched her at all, it ruined his career on a British soap before she went on air and said he did not hit her they had sacked him the damage was done.
He did not hit her, she made it all up.
Ofcom is the regulator for TV, the internet etc, it is the British equivalent of the FCC. It can fine companies and in extreme cases remove companies' licences, but that has never happened. Good to see Maggie again.
They have removed companies licences. The latest was CGTN earlier this year.
The day Maggie says "hello" is the day you will leave TH-cam and can retire!!👍
No he must stay forever lol he is one I watch every video!
“Which one would have you writing to ofcom?”
Whooo 😂
Clarkson was right that people committing suicide by jumping in front of trains are selfish. So are those who jump off motorway bridges. Aside from the minor inconvenience to those whose journeys are delayed, there is the enormous trauma caused to train and road vehicle drivers who might find a fresh corpse accompanying them in their cabs, or adhering to the front of their vehicles.
He didn’t hit her she claimed he did so the public would vote for her.
Brasseye was awesome laughs. Even this episode, viewed through the prism of the BBC's attitude to the likes of Jimmy Saville which was happening at the same time, starts to stray into the field of "Insightful Journalism" (But not completely, "Playground Bangaround" was firmly two feet on the wrong side of the line...) The episode On Drugs was hilarious, From approaching shady characters on the street asking for drugs that don't exist, through ways to dodge the law including suspending drugs from a helium balloon and holding the end of the string so you're not in possession and using drug trafficking Mandrills, to getting celebrities to warn the kids of the dangers of "Cake".
"Can't be hitting women?", he didn't hit her, that's the point...
@Emily I understood and I've never heard about it till now.
Maggie is lovely. You don’t sound to bad. Another great video. Enjoyed the video on your other channel with the bow and arrow 😂
That ghost watch scared the shit out of me as a kid lol
Ghostwatch was written by the guy who documented The Enfield Haunting in the mid 70s, which is why it had a lot of the same lements.
I used to watch brass eye and it was funny AF. It got canned because he made fun of celebrities who would jump on any "cause" without doing any actual research on what they were supporting. 5 mins work would have told them that it was fake.
Tbh the bgt dance was amazing and needed to be shown! It was truth about what happens
The final one… He actually didn’t do anything… She set out to tarnish his name and have him branded as a “wife beater” when he actually did nothing.
She was shown to be a very manipulative person & the fact that Ryan Thomas eventually won the show, just proves that the public also knew nothing happened.
She was a truly vile woman for her actions in this & thankfully, the public could see that - it’s just the housemates who struggled for a bit, as they couldn’t see what we all could. However, she actually pretty much ended her own career over it, rather than it having too much of a negative impact on his 🙌🏼
And the fact that she had done it before too
Every time I see that Clarkson moment, I still can't believe people didn't get the sarcasm throughout everything he was saying...
Yeah he is someone you need to get, some just don’t get it unfortunately
Being sarcastic AND being right, quite the feat.
Thing is, he portrays himself as a toxic tory POS all the time, so expecting people to discern when he is being that and when he isn't being that, is Schrodinger's Asshole.
Most people only know about 15 seconds of the 90 second exchange between Clarkson and the presenters, the bit where he says he'd have people shot. Before the media campaign against him, there were very few complaints, partly because it wasn't actually how the media portrayed it later, but also because no-one watched The One Show. The vast majority of complaints came after the media edited it all down to 15 seconds.
Clarkson started off by saying the strikes were great because London was empty, you could go speeding around, restaurants were empty, and so on, then he added "but we have to balance all this because this is the BBC", and then you got the 15 seconds everyone remembers.
Probably they don't get it because it is usually shown out of context as it was in this video.
I remember recording "Ghostwatch" ...on video...it was a while ago 😆 so that my now ex husband could watch it after he finished work about 11pm. The clip of the ghost on the stairs did it for him...his screaming woke me 👻👻👻
Just came back to channel and your 70k well done!!!!
Would love to see you do a reaction video to Brasseye, it's so good!
I couldn't sleep without the light on for weeks after 'ghostwatch' it was really scary for it's time. Nobody knew it was a scripted drama, we all thought it was an actual live investigation. There was a bit in the house where you saw a guy in the shadows behind the kitchen door and it terrified me. I'd probably laugh at it now as I'm in my forties lol
Used to watch Eastenders all the time, mostly because that's what my parents would watch. Our old dog (Denver) used to go absolutely mental every time he heard the theme song, even at the 10pm repeats, he would watch it until the end just to hear the song again. RIP Denny boy. The soaps were on every night in our house and I remember watching the Cat and Ronnie baby swap in shock. I must have been about 10-11 at the time and a baby died and her mum swapped the wee one with someone else's baby.
I was 16yrs old when Ghostwatch aired. It was amazing. That clip doesn't give it its full due. I have a DVD of it and it has a booklet with it. And apparently a 15yr old boy killed himself after watching it. It had phonelines for viewers to phone in during the show to report any supernatural activity going on in their own homes. Fake reporters outside the house. Interviewing fake neighbours giving a whole backstory to the street and house. It was mental.
I like your comments about same sex relationships 👍 Why people get upset about them is weird. Nobody’s trying to make it compulsory. Live and let live I say. 🏳️🌈
Still repulsive to look at for a lot of people to be honest
The problem with OFCOM is that there will be a few complaints about the show and that will be reported in the media and suddenly they get thousands more from people who never saw it.
JT, 13 out of the 4000 people who died due to covid were people I cared for at my care home they were good people, it was bad because we lost them all in 3 weeks.
I suffer from really bad depression, and Ive almosted committed suicide myself, and I still agree that jumping in front of a train is selfish. I believe if you want to end your own life, then thats your prerogative, but dont inflict it onto other people and give them trauma for your choice.
Sending hugs. I sincerely hope you have a good day today xx
I hope you are doing okay currently and in a better place 🙏
I work in the railway, it happens on avg once a day or two across the UK
A lot of them make eye contact with the driver and smile :/
Almost forgot, keep the strength
In times of crisis there’s always some one to talk to.
I think you think that until you're so desperate you can't think clearly at all. I have attempted suicide too, and there's something just different in the way you think and feel that is not normal. You can't rationalise properly, you can't feel properly, and if that gets bad enough, I can totally see how someone would want just a fast and definite end.
I don’t know why they complained about the Drag Queen on Strictly come Dancing when the BBC show a program called RuPaul’s Drag race, a show all about Drag Queens.
They probably couldn’t cope with seeing Anton Du Beke with eyeshadow on 😂
Ghost watch, remember it well, watched it with my then young kids, didn't know it would frighten us to death that much
Ofcom is the "the Office of communication" and is a government approved regulatory body for many different communications industries in the UK. In the UK there are many such "public bodies" with similar names, but different responsibilities like ofgem "the office for gas and electricity markets". These public bodies are government adjacent (at arms length bodies) in that there are no elected MPs who are in charge of them (if there were they would be called a ministry), but were created by the government to provide a public or government service.
During one series of Big Brother there was a massive fight and the police were called, meanwhile most of the people watching television that night, were watching badger on BBC'S Springwatch. 😆
He didn’t hit her mate, that’s the point.
The Roxanne Pallet one was crazy!!
Something I will never forget; things on tv don’t usually anger me (other than sport lol) but I was seething watching it, so glad it worked out well for Ryan
I was still in the US when Ghost watch aired here, but people have plenty to say about it. A young man with learning difficulties watched it and became convinced his home was haunted, as their radiators and pipes made knocking noises. He ended his life within a week of watching. So in 1992 - it definitely convinced some it was real.
Roxanne tried to ruin Ryan’s life, and she wasn’t 17 she was a lot older and now lives in usa
In the final one the point was he didn't hit her, she lied
Seeing clips of Ghost Watch now, as an adult, I can see how fake it is. However, when it aired I was just a kid. I didn't see the bit at the beginning telling viewers it was not real, and my family doesn't celebrate Halloween (I still won't now), so I didn't realise it was Halloween. Ghost Watch terrified me, and even though I can see through it now, seeing the clips still brings back memories of how terrified I was.
Ofcom is the UK equivalent of the FCC. It awards radio and TV licences, allocates AM and FM radio frequencies and ‘regulates’ radio and TV content.
It isnt featured here but I remember Gerald Ratner wrecking his business overnight when he said something on TV about selling cheap tat in his jewellery shops.
The word he used was"crap", lol! I heard him repeat it in a conversation with a friend.
He didn't hit her she made it up, he tapped her
Whilst the "Baby swap" at #5 was a little out there, I remember watching it at the time and being completely invested, it also didn't have much of a effect on the show itself, the actors involved still remained part of the show for several years!
I didn’t realise it had caused so much outrage. I thought it was a great story.
Strictly is a family show so it's inappropriate to show drag queens? Pantomime is entirely aimed at kids and every single one has a drag act in it. These people need to think about what they're complaining about before they put fingers to keyboards.
Brass Eye is great, the child on the space station gag is one of the best and is along the same lines as Paedogeddan
My favourite "normal" Big Brother was the free for all brawl were they shut the broadcast off it was so bad!.
I'm more surprised that in this day and age people still believe that cold weather gives you a cold 🙄
... well it lowers your resistance and allows cold viruses to thrive whilst the immune system is running on low power, so, although cold weather is not the direct cause of colds it is a major contributing factor in catching one.
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle exactly!
Oh Ghostwatch, I remember that... And aye... It was a beauty setup! :D
I remember watching ghostwatch when I was 10 years old it gave me shivers then and still now at almost 40 lol
Ghostwatch was a cultural phenomenon. I was 12/13 years old when it aired, and there was loads of hype about it at school. Like most people I hadn’t bothered to read the disclaimer and thought it was real, until the over the top ending. It has to rank top 10 TV events of my life.
Reminds me of the Orson Welles radio version of War of the Worlds.
been watching you for months now :) cant wait to see what tattoo you get when you reach 100k! peace and love from the uk dude
Sending love from the UK! 💚💙💜
Omg the dog! 😍
OfCom is the broadcast regulator in the UK. They regulate pretty much any civilian radio activities including television, radio, mobile phone communication and amateur radio - I had to apply to OfCom for my license when I passed my ham radio exam.
They have the power to do anything from fining to shutting down a station if they don't comply to their license rules. IN 2021 they revoked the China Global Television Network's license to broadcast in the UK because they felt they were providing too much of a Chinese bias to their news on the Hong Kong riots - they were off the air within hours.
You should check out 10 minutes of Joe Marler being Joe Marler, it's quite a good laugh.
