From The Evening Standard:
BBC newsreaders have complained the corporation’s flagship £3 billion output is unclean and dangerous with a “trend of filth and human waste products”. They have called on bosses to intervene over content which they say is so 'unhygienic' that viewers regularly become sick.
The claims were made by BBC World News presenter Peter Dobbie in an email sent to the head of HR for BBC News, Dan Goad. In the email Mr Dobbie claims viewers were hospitalised after watching programmes edited in basement studio B3, complaining other license payers have also become ill.
He writes: “They’ve had ‘food poisoning’ three times now in the past year from B3. There is now obviously a trend down there – a trend of filth, human waste products, and badly made programmes.
“Whatever is happening on B3 is vicious, adaptable and life-threatening.”
[Disclaimer: I quite like the BBC actually, it's quite funny in its own self-absorbed seriousness, but they asked for it this time.]
