Part of the attraction of the show was to see what outrageous thing he would say. If you don't want to hear the outrage, don't tune in. He was warned last year that he would be fired if he said anything racist again, ever. A standard he described as being hard for a saint to meet. I would be outraged if he was fired for saying the outrageous things that we know he is going to say.
He is under investigation for trying to take a swing at a producer. No one is saying he hit anyone, but that he tried. Has he crossed the line.
As frustrating as work can be, violence is never the answer.
The show would not be the same without him. There have been spin off versions of the show in other countries, including one the USA, and it is just not the same. He is a creative genius. If he did what he is accused of, what is the appropriate action?
sack (fire) him, as the brits would say. would your organization keep an employee who engaged in fisticuffs with co-workers/supervisors?
ReplyDeletemy company has fired 2 people in 11 years, both for not showing up for work without proper notice.
I think hes a toss pot
ReplyDeleteI firmly believe that your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins. And if you're aiming for me, that's just as bad. Unfortunately, as outrageously great as he is, he crossed the line, if he did in fact swing at a producer. I've worked on television shoots. Egos MUST be checked at the door if you intend to get anything done. Clearly his won out over reason. Fire him. If he's on BBC1 or 2, then it costs the network nothing since they don't sell ads. But they will take a hit in viewership.
