We love the BBC at the ‘spray, but Christ on a bike, they’re thick as shit sometimes. Not only did they commission Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please, they have now made a massive balls-up with a game show which they’ll have to rerecord almost in its entirety.
Why? Well, a really daft blunder has forced Aunti Beeb to re-record 26 out of 30 episodes of a brand new quiz show.
What exactly? Apparently, contestants could see the answers to the questions they were being asked.
It is reported that some of the contestants who took part in the filming of upcoming BBC Two gameshow called ‘Perfection’ were able to see a screen that shouldn’t have been visible to them which just happened to have all the answers on it.
The quiz show, presented by ‘DIY SOS’ manly man man Nick Knowles, was originally going to appear on our screens this month. Thanks to this cock-up, it is now going to be shown later this year.
All of the show’s participants are to be recalled so the quiz can be reshot. This time, the BBC won’t give them the answers.
At least they’re not wasting money elsewhere eh? What’s that? The company has also lost laptops and mobiles worth ?240k.
BBC laptops and mobiles worth ?241,019 were lost or stolen over the past two years, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.
That equates to the loss of 146 laptops, 65 mobile phones and 17 Blackberry devices between April 2008 and March this year.
Still, thank the stars we have the BBC. ITV is really, really shit.

But the “really daft blunder” wasn’t made by the BBC. It was made by the production company, 12 Yard, who are owned by… ITV.

So the BBC are spending our license fees on an incompetant ITV subsiduary and you’re presenting this as a defense? That’s no defense, it actually makes it worse!

Perfection is a laugh-a-minute show.
We like to laugh at how thick Americans are. For example, they have no idea about Geography.
But British people appear to live on a different planet when it comes to geography. Such as the Scotsman who had no idea where in Scotland the Isle of Skye is.
However, the BBC like its minorities and that includes retards.
