something of nothing for the clarkson crybabies (present company excluded of course) to jump on, imo.

i find it far more disrespectful to all our dead servicemen than handbag punching a well paid production member

Yeah, Arlington isn't it? The prod. team would all be in G-Bay, lucky Obama hasn't closed it

I'm a bit bemused that Evans repudiated it as though he had no idea it had happened. Really? He's got the clout to say "it won't be shown, sorry", but was in the dark about it having been done?

With Ken Block driving i'm amazed they didn't crash into the Cenotaph...

How quick can you say, "Deniabilty!"

Evans is to be credited a "creative lead" on the show not as producer - something which as the Guardian confirms today, "...since the “Sachsgate” incident – when Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand were suspended over a prank call in a show... produced by the latter’s company" - the beeb don't allow presenters to be credited as... This is particularly 'fortuitous' as Evans can now claim that he only advises on things and doesn't have to be aware of every little decision!

Hence him saying that he will only state that the footage shouldn't be in the show but that the final say is not up to him. When we all know it's not got a cat in hell's chance of making transmission now.

I think if Evans didn't know it had happened then I'd like to know who was on the production team who was exactly given the all clear by the official prat at Westminster Council to film there in the first place ok they may have been some 40 yards away from the Cenotaph itself but it's still disrespectful to be doing anything like TG did in that area.
I think it will eventually come to a point when whoever is PM in future they will declare the area around the Cenotaph as sacred ground and that area has to be respected.

Isn't TG banned in certain parts of the US now?

If they did that at Arlington they probably wouldn't even be in G.Bay
They'd probably be thrown into Alcatraz and the key thrown

Following the scrapping of tens of thousands of pounds worth of footage (various figures have been reported), months in the planning, the TG team moved on to Woolwich Barracks yesterday:

There's so much media coverage of the filming that, by the time we get to see the show, it'll feel like watching a repeat

I wonder exactly how many episodes are 'in the can' so to speak?
