  • BOOK BANNED DUE to LURID REVELATIONS Submitted By: Know the Score Books Thursday, 24 May 2007
    BOOK BANNED DUE TO LURID REVELATIONS Submitted by: Know the Score Books Thursday, 24 May 2007 Paul Smith's newly published autobiography, 'WASTED?' has already caused quite a stir. In its first week it has been banned by his former employers, Warwickshire County Cricket Club, due to the lurid details of his career at the club and been the subject of several top notch reviews. The book tells the story of Smith's devil-may-care sporting career which saw him live the high life whilst winning trophies for Warwickshire, then plumb the depths, before emerging a new man, having lost his job, income, family and self respect, to work with inner city youths in the UK and Los Angeles to help them avoid the mistakes he made and avoid lives involving drugs, guns and crime. It is a modern morality tale which speaks to a far wider audience than that which would normally read a sporting autobiography. BRIEF SYNOPSIS 'WASTED?' is the story of how cricketer Paul Smith’s life fell apart after he received a drugs ban in 1997, which effectively ended his career. He was made a scapegoat and still believes he was singled-out while several other, favoured players were allowed to continue their careers. Paul lost his house, his marriage, his children and, of course, his job. How does a man come back from that? In this extraordinary autobiography, Paul Smith (a native of the north east of England) tells the story of the rock star lifestyle of a top cricketer, who produced Man of the Match performances at Lord’s to help Warwickshire to an unprecedented domestic treble of trophies, which set him on the slippery slope to oblivion.

The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

    Programme complaints bulletin Standards & Fairness and Privacy Issue number 16 23 August 2004 Ofcom programme complaints bulletin 23 August 2004 Contents Introduction 2 Standards cases Sanctions 3 Breaches 7 Resolved 11 Not in Breach/Outside Remit 14 Fairness and Privacy cases Upheld/Upheld in Part 21 Not Upheld 22 1 Ofcom programme complaints bulletin 23 August 2004 Introduction Some of the following complaints were received by the legacy regulators prior to the commencement of Ofcom. Under the terms of the Communications Act 2003, they became the responsibility of Ofcom on 29 December 2003. The Communications Act allows for the Codes of the legacy regulators to remain in force until such time as Ofcom has developed its own Codes. Ofcom is currently consulting on its new draft Code. This can be found at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/current/broadcasting_code/ The new Code will be published at the beginning of 2005. The Codes currently in force for programming are: • Advertising and Sponsorship Code (Radio Authority) • News & Current Affairs Code and Programme Code (Radio Authority) • Code on Standards (Broadcasting Standards Commission) • Code on Fairness and Privacy (Broadcasting Standards Commission) • Programme Code (Independent Television Commission) • Code of Programme Sponsorship (Independent Television Commission) The cases have been considered against the above Codes. • Some programmes will have breached the relevant code or been found to be unfair or to have infringed privacy without good reason (Upheld). • Others will not have breached the code or been found to be unfair or to have infringed privacy without good reason (Not upheld). • However, there may be occasions where Ofcom recognises that a broadcaster has taken appropriate action in response to an issue (for instance, the broadcaster may recognise that an error has occurred and taken responsible steps to rectify it).
