User:Boffy b/buzzcocks e-mail

This is the body of an e-mail I got from BBC information on the 16th of April, 2006. I have put it here as the source of the quote "Mark Lamarr is only taking a break from the show" in Never Mind The Buzzcocks, as I am not aware of a current online source for this.

"Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'.

I was delighted to read of your interest in the programme and understand you felt Ricky Wilson was a poor host. I should begin by advising that all our programme contributors are appointed on the basis of their experience and talent, and we do not engage any presenter unless we consider that they are the most competent and possess the necessary ability to meet the considerable demands of their particular broadcast. Having said that it is rare for any television personality to meet with the approval of everyone in our vast and varied audience, and from the heavy correspondence which we receive it is clear that viewers' opinions on them do vary considerably. We are unaware of any plans to take on Richard O'Brien as the presenter and I must point out that Mark Lamarr is only taking a break from the show; nevertheless please be assured I have registered your comments regarding this issue and have made them available to the 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' production team and the senior BBC management. Feedback of this nature helps us when making decisions about future BBC programmes and your comment will play a part in this process. Thank you again for taking the time to contact the BBC.
