Just this morning, BBC headlines include articles on allegations against DLT, Rolf Harris and William Roache. Following the Jimmy Saville scandal (and I know there were plenty others following that) do you Brits feel there is an end in sight or is there a lot more to come out? Oh Stuart Hall was another one after JS....
Will there be anyone emerging from 1980s children's TV/Light entertainment unscathed? Noel Edmonds? (OMG just looked him up, he's 65, now I feel even older! But he seems clean so far. Mike Read too, on both counts)
I honestly can't say I feel any surprise about most of those accused, but then weren't all 80s CTV presenters a little sketch? It was kind of the style of the moment, a hint of lasciviousness (OK I know Roache was not a CTV guy or lascivious, but most of them were at some point.)
Have any lessons been learned, or will they? Is this a reflection of the generation? Should we have cared more? Is it something that has always gone on and always will or is it a bandwagon of not-all-innocent limelight seekers? or do we still not care very much?
It's no wonder we're so screwed up. Wonder if I could sue?
