Is he actually dead? The 2 January 2007 thing is a bit suspicious. Crispin Giles 07:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Big Breakfast comment

Someone had added this to the mention of Bacon's tenure at the Big Breakfast:

"(the media and public alike strongly felt he was misplaced on the show and showed it with a complete lack of presenting ability and obvious incompetance towards comedy, by the end of the shows life the co-presenters as well as crew clearly looked unhappy and uncomfortable with Richard in the main chair, this was deemed by many to be a massive come down from the genuine talents of what made the show great such as Chris Evans, Mark Little and even Rick Adams, he clearly showed his stuttering, shouting and hand waving was not suited to the magazine format and he clearly was not cut out for comedy)"

This is obvious editorialising, unsourced and filled with weasel words, so I removed it; if someone genuinely believes this needs to be mentioned, find a citable source making the same claim. Gusworld 21:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Enormous irony

"The enormous irony of his career is that he remains much in demand as a radio and television presenter... because of his scandal involving Blue Peter, rather than despite it." Is this a pointless and unencyclopedic statement? 77.99.171.154 (talk) 13:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
