[on his TV hero Jonathan Ross] It upsets me greatly that a man who has broken boundaries since the first time he appeared on television, has rewritten some of the rules of television - there wouldn't be the modern chat show as we know it were it not for The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross (1987), a man that's consistently innovated and been funny, entertaining - he's been a bastion of British entertainment, we'll remember him for three incidents over an entire career. I think it's a real shame that the BBC have let Jonathan go because a lot of people like me really look up to him, he was a trailblazer for us. And of course you're going to get things wrong, but I think it's the BBC's job to get things wrong. I think the pay deal, if we're all being honest, the pay deal was way out of order, but who wouldn't have signed on the dotted line? And also I'd make a small point that every show he does is produced and executive-produced, therefore the blame for when things go wrong ought to be shared amongst all those. You know, I think it's a sad day for Britain and for broadcasting. Show less «
