04.26 | A response to a complaint? Never!
Remember that we told you that '24' won't be broadcast next weekend because of the fucking snooker? Well, 24weblog.com reader Alison wrote to the controller of BBC2... and got a reply.
Jane Root, the mad woman at the BBC who we're holding responsible for this mess, wrote:
Drives me mad too... but sports contracts signed many years ago have legal standing, I'm afraid and there ain't anything I can do...Now that's a good excuse, actually. Better than the weak ones people normally come up with in this type of situation.
UPDATE: Wait a minute - she says "I'm afraid and there ain't anything I can do" - afraid? Does she think a bunch of crazed rabid '24' fans are going to break into the kitchen and stab her wildly with knives? I mean, we might, if the BBC continues to fuck about with the schedules like this. I'm joking, of course. Maybe. HA HA HA HA HA HA...
