RICHARD DESMONDTAKES OVER CHANNEL FIVE

[Marino]

I understand your feelings Bob. But unfortunately our dreams of living in a perfect world are long fucked.

If it was a perfect world I would now be controlling the adult industry and everyone would be happy. And every friday night all the lovely ladies would come round to my house to please me and my friends. mmm thining about it they already do.

Okay then in a perfect world I would be rich and control the adult industry. xx

Bob,

For what it's worth, I wholeheartedly agree with the "one owner per title". Great idea.

I'd love to see Murdoch's face if that actually became law...

It was reported that he wanted BB for 5

I am not saying it wasn't - but Richard wouldn't pay the money that Endemol would demand.

He was also quoted a saying he wanted Coronation Street.

Who know's, he may get BB onto 5.

As the show is to no longer to appear on channel 4, and I'm sure that neither BBC or ITV would show it then Endmol may accept what Desmond is prepared to offer. Given a free hand to pick contestants he may finish up with a far more interesting show than we currently have.

I also like the thought of him bringing back TOTP, can't wait to see the dance troupe he picks.

And so the cost cutting begins:

Ian Wright has become the first onscreen casualty of Richard Desmond's cost cutting at Channel 5, after the broadcaster failed to renew the Live from Studio Five presenter's contract.
