It's not about whether you want to watch any programme or not but about the repeated problems with this person that the BBC keep having to deal with and the fall-out is getting beyond what they can continue to accept.

He was already on an official warning over his behaviour regarding the racist comment and just because he seems to attract some kind of (to me) mindless following, he has not just outgrown this programme, he has outgrown himself.

He is an arrogant and unpleasant character - an old slob at best. 

He is very happy to continue not just courting controversy, but setting it up in mountain-sized events which then leaves people more than a bit upset, leaves the BBC to have to find ways to appease those he has deliberately and calculatedly offended and believes the world loves him so much that he can continue to do it.

It's not about a few people in here being offended but the damage he does, worldwide - he is in a priviledged position and does not have the right to run his bulldozer personality over anyone he thinks he can look down on.

He's raking in the millions being utterly offensive and never having to pay for his actions.

A great pity that the Argentinian racket didn't go badly wrong for him - may have taught him a very much needed lesson.

Yes it is the most successful selling programme around the world, but it's going to have to come to an end sooner or later because he cannot keep going for ever (he should have stopped going 10 years ago) and because he will allow no new talent who might become the new leading producer in time and give the show a fresh and refreshing impetus.
