Wow, was sure Italy would qualify....WC doesn't seem same without the Italians.

Very good performance from Japan. They really work. First Asian side ever to beat England. Uruguay and Japan didn't get the memo that these were friendlies lol.

Oh sorry, hadn't seen that.

England have never been beaten by an Asian team. Japan 1-0 up at the moment. Last game before the two in the US just before WC kicks off. Brazil v Croatia, England's first WC opponents, live on ITV4 at 1am.

Well am just saying what the Mirror are reporting.

Sounds like the original complainant and subject of the police investigations made another complaint to the BBC DG's office about the same incident last Monday afternoon. Maybe he thought they didn't know or thought it was time Mills was dealt with. We don't know. Mills was told to go in to see the bosses after his show ended on Tuesday.

D m They are refusing to answer that important question today. On air presenters have made no reference to Mills leaving today whatsoever. TIMELINE. Mills on air last Tuesday 24th as usual and said he'd be back next day. Called in to see BBC DG, Head of BBC music and Head Of Radio 2 and a BBC lawyer later Tuesday following a complaint made Monday. Mills must have known what it was about as he also had his solicitor and a lawyer present. He was suspended. His contract was then terminated with immediate effect on Saturday. There were Twitter rumours over the past few weeks though that something was about to happen. From The Mirror online The Metropolitan Police said a man, who was in his 40s at the time of the interview in 2016, was investigated over allegations reported to have happened between 1997 and 2000 - a time when Mills was working at BBC Radio 1. Today the BBC said it understands that director general at the time, Tony Hall, was not aware of the allegations. The investigation was dropped in 2019 after the CPS deemed there was insufficient evidence to bring charges. But now the network has admitted it knew about the allegations against Mills almost a year ago but didn't investigate. A former presenter contacted the network in May 2025 with information about alleged “inappropriate communications” involving the radio star but didn't receive a response. The BBC has apologised, and admitted they should have followed up.

Was a boy UNDER 16. Confirmed by the BBC and Met police today. The CPS refused to go to Court but the police believed they had enough evidence. Maybe he said he was 16... some look a lot older, especially girls.

Eh? This is breakfast not drive time! Zoe didn't have a male co-host and Cox doesn't on Drive now. Most do on commecial stations though. Vernon Kay is 6/4 bookies favourite.

So are they saying they didn't know about this or they did and still took him on to Radio 2 and promoted him to the prestigious Breakfast show. Must be the former as why wait 10 years? The Guardian are hinting that they may have rushed this decision after criticism of being too slow with Huw Edwards. Mills could go after them with good lawyers for unfair dismissal if police dropped the case originally. Surely the BBC took legal advice though.

This is a huge shock and news story today. Only 15 months in. At first I thought today was April 1st! A collective gasp apparently went through the BBC newsroom when they heard. He lived for that show and had finally realised his dream of his own breakfast show. Dropped from Eurovision too. Could Greg James be brought over now? Probably go to Sara Cox though as she was in line if he'd refused it and also when Zoe Ball got it.

Bad luck Wales and ROI. Italy will qualify on Tuesday.

I must say I wouldn't pay for access to charts that aren't even the official ones. Just being honest as am sure you appreciate.

The Ken Boothe 1974 version, also No.1 was the best.

Hi John. Love 1976 for music. Falling Apart At The Seams was cut from the recent Friday night TOTP repeat as, according to a poster on DS, one of the drum kits has Golliwogs on it for Golden Shred marmalade. Racist now apparently. Could have just pixelated it out... I preferred Concrete & Clay to the 60's original by Unit 4+2 Both Wizzard songs were great. I liked Roy Wood solo too. Forever, Going Down The Road and Oh What a Shame. I remember after Xmas Tom Browne played On Horseback.
