Are you idiots just blind or totally brainless???? To not have the pedophile Jimmy S on the list is pretty pathetic. Top gear being anti American makes the list but covering up the actions of a pedophile doesn't....... you guys not mind pedophiles???
Where is the video about the BBC’s best moments
@Andy Ewing the bbc doesn't have any best moments unless your a brainless sheep happy to watch the absolute BS the bbc thinks people want to see
@@WhatDemocracy Where is my nuclear bomb

The worse thing is letting Jimmy Saville get away with his crimes for years. Other things that should have been covered in this video was their live broadcast of the raid on Cliff Richard's home.
I want to see Chris Hansen chatting with Jimmy Saville
Thing is he didn't actually commit his crimes at the BBC, he did them (mostly) in NHS hospitals
@@toainsully well Jimmy Saville is dead so that ain't possible
But did they actually apologise for the Cliff Richard thing?

Did they actually apologise for this?

@@brisingerfaelorn no.
I don’t think they ever apologised for it.

They also didn’t cover themselves in glory during their live programming at the 2020 (2021) Euros. Rather than going straight back to the studio when Christian Eriksen had a heart attack on the pitch for Denmark & it became clear how serious it was they continued showing graphic close ups including his body jumping as they used a defibrillator & Eriksen’s wife being understandably very distressed!
The BBC weren’t in control of that coverage. Sports are always broadcast based on rights agreements with the organisers. The same thing happens all the time in cycling when the host broadcaster endlessly replays crashes and there’s nothing the commentary teams can do about it
@@joebleasdale5557 mightve considered cutting to commercials, shit...
@@joebleasdale5557 yes & no. They aren’t in control of the choice of cameras during the match, close ups, replays etc but they can cut away from the coverage whenever they like. As soon as it became clear how serious it was they should have cut back to the studio - just because other broadcasters felt another man’s fight for life was appropriate to live broadcast doesn’t mean BBC had to follow suit!
@@marycanary86 We don't have commercials on the BBC
@@portaltaker its a figure of speech. i know for a fact that you have ads for other shows on the network
They should apologise for making people pay for TV licence when it's just a BBC licence. If they don't want to watch BBC don't add it to TV's, make it like Netflix or Amazon
I was going to say TV licence
Then just don't pay it.
@@LThaPunisha I just don't understand why it's called a TV licence when it's just the BBC you pay for as other channels are paid for with advertising. Unless it's the BBC edging there bets, making people think they are paying for all channel's. Do they go to other country's and hound them, so what gives them the right to hound us.
i agree with YOUR point 100 per cent and if you don,t mind i repeated your good message again and added my own twist
None of you seem to understand that the tv licence is required to watch all tv channels as they are broadcast not just the BBC. The BBC just happens to be funded by the licence fee and you would still pay the licence fee even the BBC was no longer funded by it. It would just stay in the government coffers and used to fund the NHS instead and you'd all complain about that too!
BBC hating on DDLC is just as bad as the TV License people pretending to be as powerful as the police. it’s just plain annoying.
What is ‘DDLC’? I can’t seem to pin it to anything in this video. (Or perhaps I wasn’t paying attention).

Anyone offended by that needs to grow up.

@@SamS-uv2ql im offended that you arent offended
When my club is crap I want it published everywhere….
No mention of the BBC apologising for calling Jeremy Corbyn an anti semite. But as it was barely reported by anyone, that’s understandable if not forgivable.
Don't forget their failure to report on the amnesty or ford reports.
totally reported. just not true
This made me think of the excellent Armstrong & Miller ‘Apology - Coach & Horses’ sketch. Well worth seeking out for comparison!
The Top Gear - México thing was a weird one, Mexican fans know they're just like that and didn't found offense in it, the whole debacle only made people here more aware of the show and gained more fans.
Mexico diplomats had to do their job seeking an apology but in reality nobody here got offended (well maybe a very, very small group of people).
That's not how I remember. They got huge criticism for that sketch
@@dannylad1600 if you're Mexican then I guess you were part of the small group that got offended. Sure it stirred stuff up in the media and with some diplomatic figures but pretty much all fans were laughing along them and the event increased interest in the show.
Interesting that you, obviously not Mexican, feel that you really have a say on what was and wasn't offensive about what they said.
@@CheshireKai13 interesting that you, knowing nothing about me can say that I'm "obviously" not Mexican.
Please, tell what makes it obvious ?
Got a feeling one of the investigative documentaries, titled 'Under the Skin: The Botched Beauty Business' from 2021, will soon be added to the list of apologies, as Ofcom are currently investigating the programme for fairness and privacy.
What happened
@@AirQuotes Nothing. It was fine.
Did the BBC ever apologise for covering up child abuse for over 30 years.
The worst thing that the BBC ever did was when they were talking about DDLC and it mad everyone so mad that they are still feeling the pain to this day well done BBC
What’s DDLC?
"Forced to apologise" or just simply say sorry
I mean they're actually FORCED to apologise..
So these people who demand an apology are ok with fake apologies I take it?!
Cause there is no way I would ever apologise for something and mean it if I was forced to do so !!
I agree, although to be fair for some of these when you are streaming live you may genuinely be embarrassed about something that slipped through and made it to air or embarrassed when someone bumped a button that brought the wrong thing up on the screen. In those cases I wouldn’t personally feel responsible for the content, and I wouldn’t appreciate being FORCED to apologize. Heck, I might even agree with some of the comments that slip through, but may agree they are comments that belong on nighttime TV, not on day time, mainstream news where parents are supposed to feel safe letting their young children watch. In those cases, I might mean the apology genuinely from a perspective of, “I’m sorry that slipped through in the wrong place.” I might even mean it from a, “I’m sorry I didn’t do my job, which is to make sure certain material only appears in nighttime TV or to thoroughly vet a program to make sure it’s factually accurate and doesn’t violate someone’s privacy or safety before it goes to air.” I might mean those apologies even if I don’t appreciate the force behind having to make them.
On the other hand, I also think there’s a very good reason people force apologies. It’s not because they believe the apology or are ok with fake apologies. It’s because knowing they might have to make an apology forces people to take action. In our society, sadly people have many incentives to do inappropriate things and not take accountability for it. Lawyers insist people never apologize for anything because they are worried as soon as you apologize you are setting yourself up for legal liability and may have to pay a large financial settlement. If you are a fact-checker, there’s always the reality that you can claim to have checked a program for facts without ever even watching it. In other words, you can get paid for doing your job without actually having to do it. Or if you have an agenda, you can deliberately make a documentary full of lies and get BBC to air it putting that BBC stamp if approval, which ensures that a certain segment of the population is going to believe your lies are true. Or if you are horribly racist or bigoted, if you can get horribly racist or bigoted programming on the BBC it will look like the BBC officially endorses your position, and since the BBC is essentially funded by the UK government, if the BBC looks like it is endorsing a political viewpoint, it looks like the UK government and the UK people also endorse it. The point of demanding an apology is to balance all of these incentives. If you are a fact checker and don’t do your job so you can get paid for doing nothing, there’s a huge chance of something major slips through the BBC is going to have to make a public apology, and if they have to do that they may fire me. Suddenly, I have at least one incentive to actually do my job. If someone is horribly racist and lives the idea of putting racist content on the BBC to normalize racism and make it look like the BBC, UK government, and British people all endorse racism, they might think twice if they know the BBC will be forced to make a public apology and will likely fire them as part of that apology. Even if they don’t care, middle management might be more likely to take their job if vetting programs more seriously before they get to air, so the program might get made, but at least may never be seen.
The public apology is primarily about getting people to take action before they get the apology. And second, it is at least a way of taking away that BBC endorsement, and this implied government and implied population endorsements from the material. It’s a way of saying, “Although there’s probably at least one person who still supports this content and isn’t sorry for creating it, there’s been enough of an uproar over this content that it is no longer accurate to say that the majority of people agree with this political position or believe the facts presented in this program are factually accurate.” Removing that implied endorsement of the content may not remove the content and may not take away its support from its core supporters, but it does matter to those people in the middle of society who take the fact that programming appeared on the BBC as a stamp of approval and quality, but who also take a formal apology from the BBC as removing that stamp of approval and quality.
Now then now then aren't we missing something 😂
I think the whole no swearing in TV is just stupid 😂😂
It's for children.

This is why you shouldn’t pay your BBC Tv Licence.
No I use TV not paying for it can get you fined I like watching live programming like football Olympics, news ect.
@@declangaming24. Actually you can legally opt out of paying it.
@@timglennon6814 no
The tv licence fee is required to watch all tv channels actually not just the BBC.
The BBC should have been sued over the lack of accountability with Jimmy Saville . It was responsible for letting him abuse all those children and adults for years.
What about Brand and Ross and their prank calls. The BBC were compelled to apologize for that moment. That should have been included on the video.
Paying a tv license is the biggest scandal
It was that Martin Bashir interview, that caused Diana to dismiss her entire security detail because Bashir had hinted that they were snitching to Charles about Diana’s movements.
Had she had her security detail, she probably would be alive today…
The irony is the only people complaining are the other BBC employees in other depts😅
I don't understand why other countries are allowed to insult Britain in a properly hateful way. But when we even jokingly mock another country it's insulting.
difine funny .not every one was laughing it ok for top gear but what about the poor english he just represented who holyday there.
They insult Britain purely because they are jealous
Try being an American, we're basically the laughing stock of the world.
@@vixxxenfoxxx3660 I don't hate Americans
cos you lot probably used to enslave and exploit the people of those same countries lmao
sorry for Diana telling her side of the story, but no mention of Jimmy saville. seriously XD

They should apologize for falsely claiming Doki Doki Literature Club had no age warning when it actually did.

They need to apologise for their existence.

5:30 How was that even allowed? LOL
How about the time they warned Argentina that Britain was planning to retake the Falklands?
Umm Jimmy Savile?!
I'm still waiting for the BBC to apologise for allowing Osi Umenyiora, a former American football player, saying on the BBCs NFL Show that he didn't like Andy Dalton, a red haired NFL player, because of the colour of his hair. If Andy Dalton had replied he didn't like the colour of Osi's skin there would have been protests in Trafalgar Square!
I can't get passed him saying " the baby sea"
How hard is it to say BBC.
Because they reported the actual word used 🙄
guy actually quit, over a report of a word someone else said for not getting a apology after there was one lol. so strong and brave lol
Wtf is the "birby si"?
His accent. And?
The Jimmy Savile cover up apology didn’t make it? JK, there never was one
Never apologised for decades of covering for Jimmy then?
So, when are the BBC gonna apologize for Jimmy Savile without editing him out of existence to save face?
THE BIBBEH SEH
Here’s the thing that BBC should bring back the walking with saga (dinosaurs, 1999) (beasts, 2001) (monsters, 2005) and planet dinosaur 2011
How about a video on the 127 Million times the BBC should have apologized but didn't.
A few Examples please..
Just because of what?
Not agreeing with some snowflakes or minorities, thus getting labelled by them as "anti {insert made up minority/group here}"?
Grow a spine! No organisation can or should be expected to conform these demands including the BBC.
@@ErraticPT Funny, I thought of the BBC as being the snowflakes without spines.
@@baboononskatesDo I really need an example? The BBC is a news organization owned and operated by a federal government. Most people agree that politicians can't be trusted; so then why trust news organization run by those same politicians that can't be trusted? You can't pluck a good apple from a rotten tree. They're going to be as unbiased as the politicians who run it.
Only ten I'm surprised
The one the about the transgender article… it wasn’t just that Lily Cade made violent comments… it was also the fact that Cade has been accused of sexual assault and rape* by multiple women.
*before I get an earful on the subject from some people, Cade resides in California and the definition of rape in the US does not require a penis to be involved.
she also later wrote a giant essay openly calling for the lynching of trans people
real unbiased work at the bbc! they didnt include any comments from an actual trans person who they interviewed but just didnt include what they said, but a twitter poll of a group that is explicitly anti trans who's followers are mostly, people who dont like trans people, and a rapist who wants to murder them! but ig anything flies when you get to throw trans people under the bus is the rule of uk journalism rn
But not for announcing building 7 had fallen when it’s still in the background. They just sacked the woman.

@@WhatDemocracy foreknowledge = conspiracy. Building 7 was even left out of the official report and some people don’t even know it fell.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Top quality
They play that top gear episode all the time on Dave 😂😂😂😂
I’m not quite sure who decides which slurs are or are not appropriate to “relay” on a news report.
The speaker said Interview with HRH Diana Princess of Wales in 1995. First of all Diana had her HRH taken away from her in 1992 when they divorced. So she’s Diana Princess of Wales minus the HRH. BBC got it wrong yet again.
The BBC should apologise for misleading the public for years into believing she was titled Princess Diana which she never was or entitled to be called ut they still continue to disrespect her by using a title she never had
See the thing is with the likes of top gear the trio should never have apologised for anything that they did producer's and officials watch the episode before or have the chance to watch before it's aired they're the ones who decide to keep segments in
Jimmy Jimmy , they couldn’t let go
Jimmy Saville and the TV license.
of course Bashir Still has his lovely pension, so I think that helps him sleep at night
makes one wonder what other skeletons the BBC have in the closet
That what it said about Man U fans was ace
and they should say sorry / stop the madness of having....lol...a ....TV LICENCE IN 2022....lol....remember folks if you don,t pay, you go to jail .....WTF ???.....in 2022 this see through rubbish is still a thing ???...complete madness/ shameful
the bbc always seem to make some serious mistakes and never learn from them
Apologaaaiiees.. 😂
.....for once the BBC were just reporting facts 😂
*Man Utd fan*
Can we get a video on the 100 times the Daily and Sunday Mail had to apologise and The Sun, the sun on Sunday and news of the world had to apologise (should be able to cover that in the last six months for each of them of you limit yourself to 20 times they had to do it)
Ahh.."Whataboutism" rears its head. Sorry...BBC fanbois, AND the BBC itself holds ITSELF up as being "better" than those other broadcasters... Only fair then to hold it to higher standards. Which it clearly cannot meet. The latest gaffe? Not even being able to accurately QUOTE a REUTERS report!! How the fuck do you defend that? Can they not READ?
What about the shameful way the BBC treated Cliff Richard ...on dubious and false information..
I don't think the UK has much room to talk about gooey, amorphous plates of food. 😜
the top gear bit about refried beans is kind of true.

I miss old humour someone is always the butt end of the joke it is what it is. A good comedian has to be both good at giving and taking a joke and that goes the same for people who enjoy comedy🤷🏻♂️. Some types of jokes are acquired taste and some too touchy but we are all different. Growing up in the UK if you dont take the piss out of your best friends sometimes and they dont to you were they really your bestfriends?
There's a big difference between making a joke based on racial stereotypes aimed an entire country, and an individual. If the Top Gear crew had been taking the piss out of a Mexican celebrity, that would be one thing. Of course they couldn't because they would risk getting sued. But they took the piss out of ALL Mexicans based on a negative stereotype.
Don't you feel a little offended when American's make jokes about Brits been royality-worshiping tea-totallers with bad teeth wearing beefeater costumes and talking with a cockney accent?
@@kirishima638 no i dont feel offended as some are very true i drink tea everyday and most british do and if someone is offended by a stereo type its probably true🤷🏻♂️ some things arent true imo but it doesnt bother me if they are true either has long as they take jokes to we can have a laugh but it also depends on the person as some people are more sensitive than others and have different sense of humour. If you dont like what they say dont listen to them is how i feel. Unpopular opinion by modern standards maybe but it is what it is. If we truly have free speech wether politically correct or not we should all be able to express without being cancelled. It is what it is though i probably have an unpopular opinion but im cool with that and cool with if others think the opposite.
@@Jazza_x_Vizionz hate speech is not free speech. And using terms like ‘getting cancelled’ is very toxic in itself. What you call ‘cancel culture’ I call progress and tolerance
@@kirishima638 free speech is free speech. If you class it has hate speech it is a form of speech but as they are free to express it they have free speech to say so whether hateful or not. Just as you have expressed your opinion on it but im not saying you are wrong or right as that is your opinion and your choice and only you choose your opinion. That is your opinion id call it a joke they dont hate mexicans or mexico as they are joking. If youre not british you wouldnt understand the humour as much if its racist or whatever to you cool its your opinion i respect that and leave it at that but you only want to tell me im wrong for my opinion🤷🏻♂️ i dont disagree as you have free speech just as i do and just as they do.
@@Jazza_x_Vizionz I am British. And I say again, free speech does not mean hate speech. You trying call a blank person the N word and see what happens. You try telling a woman to get back in the kitchen and see what happens.
Why is BBC Still around
only 10??? - you really need to do more easy research
2 ads before you can watch. 2 ads 2 mins in. More ads throughout. Bit of a piss take lads and pure greed.
What discussing something about what someone said, it would be nice for WatchMojoUK to play the clip of what they said in full. They never show it!
Is this channel for children? When you upload, you have to check a box saying "its not for kids" which is why comments are allowed - so I don't know why you won't play what they said, we're all adults! Other videos on YT have them in full. It's just so lame and a waste of my time.
The Top Gear one is fine. It was all in fun and just having a laugh. And the lads have made fun of everyone so why does Mexico get a pass? Sometimes you'd got to have a laugh and not take things so seriously.
