Lets face it no one who reads this website and works in our spheres is the target audience for CIN. I dont watch much TV on a friday anyway so i dont really care if one night a year is a massive cringe fest on BBC 1.

Looks like there has been a bit of a whoopsy with spending the cash but i have to roll out that cliched line "they have raised a lot of oney for many (legit) good causes over the years"

I hear your point but surely isn't it incumbent on the BBC to ensure that money raised from the public is properly used? After all, surely they are used to that after spending the licence fee money so responsibly year after year.

Imagine the outcry if ITV had been involved in something similar - it's duplicitous.

My advice - go down the pub you miserable so and so and stop your whinging.

I believe your main issue is the fact that you don't agree with all the 'good causes' that the programme raises funds for simply because, like our MI5, the BBC were also unable to predict that there were two young fools who would go on to do something extreme.

Perhaps you could write in to the BBC and request that you would continue supporting the programme if they promised to fund good causes that are not affiliated with any terrorist activity... Why stop there? try the National Lottery too...

Not sure they should ditch it entirely but it probably needs a bit of a rethink. As you say, it is hard to watch...
