You would think that by now these people would realise what will happen to them and their careers if they behave unacceptably, and that would be enough to make them curb their behaviour.

It is not as if they are in court for historic misbehaviour, they are in court for recent behaaviour.

Probably not more than in other jobs? It’s just that we all recognise a well known name.
Innocent until proven guilty.

The BBC does seem to be very unfortunate with its choice of male presenters doesn't it.

It still is a lovely programme JaneJudge.

BBC article has been charged with two counts of rape sad

"Meanwhile, Mr Blades appeared in court in Worcester via videolink alongside his legal team on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing in relation to a separate charge of controlling or coercive behaviour, which he has denied"

I bet the BBC wish they'd have employed an actual heritage craft skilled specialist to front The Repair Shop now - it was such a lovely programme.

He hasn't been found guilty yet but there seems so many men with a questionable nature on television
