    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2014 The One Show, BBC One, 14 January 2014 Complaint We have received complaints about Paul O'Grady's appearance on the One Show on 14 January. Some viewers felt that his views on benefit reform were not adequately challenged. BBC's Response The One Show is a topical magazine programme which occasionally reports on prominent news stories. Following media coverage of the debate around Channel Four's Benefits Street, The One Show asked members of the public for their views on the programme. A variety of opinions were heard from all sides of the debate. Following this, and in keeping with One Show tradition, the presenters discussed the issues raised with that day's studio guest, Paul O'Grady. Paul was clearly identified as a Labour supporter, and he was challenged on how he would reduce the benefits bill. Paul's views were forthright, and on reflection more could have been done to put them into context, but it is important to note that balance can be achieved across a number of programmes, and this is a subject that the One Show has covered before and hopes to revisit again in the future. EastEnders, BBC One, 14 January 2014 Complaint We received complaints from some viewers who were unhappy with a comment made by Shabnam during EastEnders on 14 January 2014. The BBC's response EastEnders has a rich history of tackling social issues. The show does not advocate racism or intolerance in any way; in fact it seeks to challenge these negative views.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

    Society of Editors speech – 11 November 2014 What we’re up to – and what we’re up for. Good morning, there was an item on PM a few weeks ago in which Eddie Mair asked the audience what the collective noun for spies should be. My favourite suggestion was a mince – a mince of spies. And, as I was coming here, I was wondering what the collective noun for editors might be. A bar of editors? A quarrel of editors? Then I remembered what I would have said as a reporter – and, no doubt, our newsrooms would generally agree - a surfeit of editors. Anyway, this is a roundabout way of saying that, whether you’ve got me here as a former member of the best club in the country or as a fellow traveller who’s now down on his luck and ended up in the broadcasting business, it is great to be amongst the Society of Editors and I’m extremely grateful to Bob for inviting me. Thank you. Before I get going, I know people are interested in what’s happening on the Panorama on Mazher Mahmood: This is a seriously good piece of work, extremely revealing and squarely in the public interest. But the worst of all worlds is when you get the big picture right, and trip up over a detail. So when some information we'd been asking to see for many days was sent to us by Mazher Mahmood's lawyers at seven o'clock last night, we, as a responsible broadcaster, had to consider it.

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

  • North Korea Undercover, BBC1, 15 April 2013, 8.30Pm Background 1
    Finding of the Editorial Standards Committee Panorama: North Korea Undercover, BBC1, 15 April 2013, 8.30pm Background 1. On 15 April 2013, Panorama: North Korea Undercover (the "Programme"), a programme in the weekly current affairs series Panorama, was broadcast on BBC1. In order to film it, in the words of the BBC website's synopsis, "Panorama reporter John Sweeney spent eight days undercover inside the most rigidly controlled nation on Earth". In order to gain entry into North Korea, John Sweeney and a Panorama cameraman/producer joined a group of current or former LSE students and post graduates led by a third member of the Panorama team, Tomiko Newson, and pretended to be part of their trip. They accompanied the students as they travelled around the country on an organised tour given by North Korean guides, and they filmed with conventional tourist cameras. 2. Mr X and the London School of Economics and Political Science (the "LSE") (together, the "Complainants") complained to the BBC and their complaints were consolidated into one Appeal (the "Appeal"). The central questions in the Appeal were whether student X (Mr X's daughter, a post graduate student on the North Korean trip on whose behalf Mr X complained) and the LSE were treated fairly by the BBC in the organisation of the trip and whether their privacy was infringed. There were also issues concerning the accuracy and impartiality of statements made by BBC Executives about the programme after it aired, and concerning whether the trip organiser and tour leader had a conflict of interest because she was employed by the BBC.
