What is this 'one rule for one' approach you're talking of? As I said, both Clarkson and Deayton lost their jobs, and both can still appear on the BBC in other roles. What is the difference?
Yes. The idea of presenters of an entertainment show is that the public like watching it, so if they're no good for viewing figures, they need to go.
Both Deayton and Clarkson lost their jobs, and both were still employed in other roles for the BBC afterwards, so there's no real difference is...
The main difference is whether it's permanent or a one off. Having Angus mock high profile people for their affairs/drug use each week, followed by the inevitable look of shock on Ian and Paul's faces, would have got boring quickly. It's not that Angus wasn't good at the job, he was, and he was...
Angus wasn't ditched for his 'thing' with that person, he went because it was too difficult for him to take the mick out of people that had done wrong, due to how silly he'd look (and Ian and Paul would never stop taking the mick out of him).
