Huw Edwards #14

[Multi-21]

It would be a quick turnaround to have confirmation of the election at 5pm and Huw signed up at 10pm the same day but will check it out

Even though the BBC’s highest earners list is still months away (July), The Times is stirring the pot. Also, weird timing to post this on April 1st

Anyway, the second paragraph here is interesting:

One option available to the BBC is to dismiss Edwards but he is expected to reject the suggestion that he has brought the broadcaster into disrepute.

Social media messages sent by Edwards to junior members of staff, revealed by a Newsnight investigation, are also believed to fall far short of harassment.”

If those messages won’t get him fired, I guess the Beeb will have to make a case for 1) bringing the company into disrepute or something or 2) get a doctor to somehow decide he’s unfit to work forever. Tricky!!

Eta: just to clarify: I don’t actually think this show is some kind of AC creation

That old AC is a crafty fecker though. I wonder if Huw will watch it.

 

[thegossboss92]

Hmmm, desensitizing the British public by spoofing the whole thing. Clevah, AC, clevah.

“Echoing the scandal surrounding Huw Edwards' suspension as the BBC's flagship news and events anchor this summer amidst accusations of sexual misconduct, Douglas' alleged indiscretion is dissected, analysed and blown out of all proportion in the subsequent digital storm.”

I wonder who would do it if something happened soon actually or any big news stories that Huw would get, election night etc

I think they’d draft in Sophie Raworth

I would not be surprised if AC asked Andrew Billen (the journalist who had lunch with Huw on the day the BBC told him about the allegations) to do the first interview.

You could be right! The next couple of months (or sooner) might be interesting.

This was an odd suggested question/search-term from Google:

I just can’t see how he could actually disappear unless he literally moves to a different country. Paps would be relentless in snapping pics anytime he goes for coffee or walks his dog for the first few months.

I could see him moving to France though. Close enough to his kids in England and his mum in Wales but far enough away from the UK (gutter) press?

He’s in Wales isn’t he?

[thegossboss92]

Could it be pictures of him out and about somewhere during one of the lockdowns?

 

[neroli]

Says it all succintly. He messed up big time and had to do the decent thing and go (eventually )

Nothing to see here.

 

[Dr.CM]

Just watching the above but it rather depends on how one defines 'the foreseeable future'...

Good to know he's going to 'address concerns' when he's finished in the foreseeable future, however, I don't see that is truly possible for his wife to assure.

In Top Trumps of TV Perves HE would beat PS in the category: arse.
PS has better hair tho.

I love this game

Am I right in thinking they both have five children? That's quite a lot, considering...

Thumb slip or ?

Come on, Huw - post something Christmassy!

 

[L3moning]

I feel like he'd need to do a Piers Morgan (i.e. move abroad) if he wants to still do serious journalism. He won't get a job in the UK doing that imho. Plus, he's literally now said that he can't work on medical advice so how can he work in a similar job for another network here?

If you give it another six months or so and get a lower profile (so lower stress) job then I don't think anyone would say anything.

The BBC’s photo display has been de-Huwed:

Huw Edwards photo not on display at BBC in months in ominous sign for his future

Insiders at the BBC have claimed there is 'no way back' for Huw Edwards after he was suspended in July accused of paying a young person for explicit images

www.mirror.co.uk

Another non-story really - it hasn’t been on display since he was suspended.

 

[Gym&Tonic]

Makes me wonder how many more Huw bum pics are out there tbh.

A fair few i’d imagine. Probably dick pics as well…l don’t want to see those!

 

[neroli]

I'm sure he will be encouraged to practise "self-care" post discharge...courtesy of an expensive legal team eager to protect their client.

Loving this reddit thread. I might have to leave Tattle for reddit

Nice to see all the downvotes on certain comments.

(Don’t you dare leave Tattle )

 

[JulieScoobyDoo]

Is he still on £400k a year whilst suspended? From the licence fee????

 

[ItsDatCuw]

I wonder what this is about?

That’s very interesting! Are there any comments?
