Save BBC 6 Music

[Abuzwebstar]

Stupid video

[E1evenE1evenE1even]

Relentless rubbish

[THERAVERFROMDERBY]

1XTRA IS A SHIT SHIT STATION AND IGNORANT AND RUDE 1XTRA SUCKS

[yeovil50]

Excellently done - made me giggle that's for sure:)

[ayanuhito]

in case you have to shut down the 6, taking some taxes from the common wealths should be an extra idea. they have lots of audience for the 6 outside Britain.

Bring Back Richard Cartridge To Radio Solent

We are campaigning to get the BBC to bring Richard Cartridge back to BBC Radio Solent which is based in Southampton. Richard was one of the long serving presenters axed by the previous Managing Editor Mia Costello at the time when she sent a memo containing the comment that she "didn't want to hear old voices on the radio." . Are the BBC and Radio Solent still operating an ageism policy?

Always fun to see an overpaid c*** garage get laid into. Hooray for the non-closure!

SAVE 6 MUSIC!!!

[opryhunter]

Close BBC FOUR, its like paxman said,its all reruns. If you want to watch reruns, use BBC iplayer and stop wasting money and if people want to watch the proms, do it like glasto and put it on red button.

[pogmotho1n]

My MP3 player plays decent music consistently too

[robseven7]

I can't believe radio 1 and the mighty 6 Music are even mentioned in the same conversation.

Radio 1 does NOTHING that you can't get on commercial radio stations, how is that better quality than 6 Music?

Sort it out BBC, I used to have respect for you.

[pogmotho1n]

They try to please everyone and end up pleasing no one

That's always been the problem with the BBC

[randar3]

that was like watching a clown run across a fucking minefield

[JosephStalinObama]

Burn mainstream media burn!

[SuperRobyne]

definitely time for Six Music to go

[Tommeh101101]

Adam and Joe make 6 Music the best station on the radio.

[Jaycastjay]

What a tosspot. 6 music is the best station for new BRITISH music in this country. Also a great platform for the migration from radio one which play the same crap (ie Lady Go Go or whatever her name is) for people who are not ready for radio two's collection of crap from the 80's. Save 6 Music, listen to your audience BBC...

[wippett1987]

fuck of thomo

[undesirablenumber1]

The scene that follows this in The Thick Of It with Jamie in the car with Blinky Ben is also brilliant.

"... you don't deserve to live!" :P

I notice paxman staring with his big rubbery horse face of mock incredulity.

[fuzzbox5150]

Only losers work for the BBC

[fuzzbox5150]

The BBC has always creeped me out

[BackInTheEUSSR]

It wont be long now before Brown flogs the BBC off cheap to his masonic cronies in the city like he did all the gold

[GordonsAllSeeingEye]

I think its only 25% they own via a company called Flextech but I know what you mean it's a bloody disgrace

[BackInTheEUSSR]

Did you know that NTL (a private company) own 50% of the BBC

[callwithcurrentconti]

@BackInTheEUSSR

NTL as in the former IBA?

[TheConciseStatement]

How cool is that Paxo is arguing with what is essentially his boss!

[digitalisthedevil666]

40 years and hundreds of millions of pounds of free promotion courtesy the UK licence payer?

Cant be bad

[NewAgeOrder]

is the mainstream media there to fill a need or to create an addiction?

[digitalisthedevil666]

do ditsy ring kssing bitches have brains?

[NewAgeOrder]

I like Lauren.She's like Jo Whley with brains

[digitalisthedevil666]

Poor old Lauren.Just as she was just falllng in love with the station, the nazis at the top decide to close it down

[flamingpiebaker]

BBC Music 6 rocks. The BEST radio station in the world. Listen listen listen to it. SAVE IT.

[BaubleRob]

Tommo is a cockflap. There's shit-all chance of 6 Music being cancelled.

[nessiebreath]

Congrats to whoever edited this - great timing

[neverbeen2]

so 1xtra has less listeners than6 music guess who's for the chop ?! 6 is the only decent station out there .cut out all the website rubbish easy.

[strepsil08]

6 Music is the only station out there that plays decent music consistently. It'll be a great shame if it goes. They should axe the juvenile, meaningless trash that is BBC3 instead.

[b3ddoes]

@strepsil08

Indeed, BBC 3 is atrocious. Song, Marry, Avoid? What the fuck is that about?

[ilikeguitar345]

@strepsil08 so you think mozart is juvenile? Or have I misunderstood, and you're actually talking about the TV chanel?

[strepsil08]

@ilikeguitar345 No, I was referring to the tv channel my friend. I'm a fan of Radio 3 too.

[jstlovesnow]

fuck the popular music vive la musique underground !

anyone see paxmans 2 fingers? that can't be accidental.

[digitalisthedevil666]

Only the parasitic record companies and TV stations want to keep it all going

[digitalisthedevil666]

Formulaic music, radio and TV died 20 years ago

[thelandingsmusic]

strange comment below?i go on radio6 to avoid hip hop and rap music anyway ,and id be happy if i didnt hear either for a 1000 years or more.

[digitalisthedevil666]

The BBC cuts its own throat yet again

[GordonsAllSeeingEye]

well this morning they've already played their token hip-hop track.just waiting now for their token old skool reggae one

[snafutube]

Well Fuck Me. Britain has got it's very own Sarah Palin ... & the twat is only in charge of the BBC. Oi Veh.

[PurushaDesa]

@snafutube Now now, let's not say things we can't folksy wink - I mean, take back.

[manufan1999]

Mark Thompson appears on the Today programme a week after to try and mop up the situation.

Tucker: You can HEAR him blinking!

[BackInTheEUSSR]

BBC = Social security for failed entertainers?

[thelandingsmusic]

i know lets shut down bbc 3 n 4 while we are at it -so theres nothing to watch on telly either.who are these brain dead morons that make these decisions, dont they realise that bands/artist have to start somewhere and its hard enough as it is.this station caters for an alternative minority and thats the way it should be, there are plenty of other stations out there that play comercial music which often, are idea's stolen from cool alternative music that deos not get the airplay it deserves

[ControlFreakElite]

Maybe the BBC should just give up the ghost as regards music radio and pump all the money into a 24/7 music TV channel instead?

[digitalisthedevil666]

The BBC will always be naff

[ControlFreakElite]

You don't see many black or Asian DJs on 6 Music do you?

[fistofonan]

@ControlFreakElite . Can't *see* any of them. It's radio.

[JimShadyUK]

@ControlFreakElite I don't see any DJs at all on 6Music - but that's because it's radio.

Thank you - I'm here all week...

[wooljuice]

keep 6 music Aliiiivvveeee! (think Brian Blessed for how that sounded in my head)

[monco66]

Pax! AAAAahhh! He'll save every one of us!

[KesKesKesmo]

Save 6 Music... and Boggins

[brocklanders1984]

Awesome clip. Something decent for once.

[tvandbeermakehomergo]

BBC radio 6 should be saved, i love the Adam and Joe show especially song wars!

[chriscroc]

@tvandbeermakehomergo Stephen! Save Adam and Joe. Get rid of 1xtra.

[funkindonuts]

Just coming!

[WhisperingRelaxer]

It's shit. Let it go.

[Eladas334]

No, that was fucking embarrassing. THIS is fucking funny.

[oldbugsneverdie]

Close down 1 xtra it's just full of shite and keep radio 6 simples!

[kaney1967]

Galaxy FM should be shut down, they play 10 songs a day and put them on repeat.

They songs?

Lady shitty Gaga, Blacked eyed bastarding peas, and other american top 10 shite.

Save BBC Radio 6

[MrMcNutty91]

@kaney1967 truest shit ive heard in a long time

[DreamRaker]

Something has to go to pay Jonathon Woss is well earned £18.000.000!!!!

[oocares]

6Music really is unique, here are the numbers to prove it - from Compare My Radio. 6Music's current 'variety gauge' reading is 59% - over half the tunes it's played haven't been played by any other radio station in the last 30 days. Radio 1 only manages 26%; Absolute Radio and NME Radio just 21%; and XFM a truly feeble 6%. The average uniqueness for radio stations nationwide? 5%.

[hastingboy]

its a real concern that that this man is responsible for the fate of services and jobs in the bbc. does he really understand the needs of listeners? i think not.

[everlonguk]

Brilliant.

[janh77]

Oh my God, Paxo has rarely been as good. Ta for posting this absolute gem! :-)

[digitalisthedevil666]

just a cushy number for middle class wankers

[pipkin1973]

he has NOOOOO idea at all!! So out of his depth and knowledge base! We are paying for this muppet! We should be able to get rid of him and keep radio 6 ! Church Music!!! JESUS MAN GET A GRIP

[GordonsAllSeeingEye]

BBC management have never had a clue

[BritSwedeGuy]

The God Paxman mashed up with the stellar The Thick Of It - excellent!

[pwaark]

meaaaan. Just hope this doesn't snowball to the BBC being restricted as those sons of sheep that are journos from the sun etc want.

[GordonsAllSeeingEye]

DUMP

George Lamb,Richard Bacon,Gideon Coe,Chris Hawkin,Jon Holme,Liz Kershaw,Clare McDonnell,Nemone,Dave Pearce

[GordonsAllSeeingEye]

KEEP

Lauren Laverne,Steve Lamacq,Jarvis Cocker,Marc Riley,Stuart Maconie,Guy Garvey,Tom Robinson,Huey Morgan,Don Letts,Bruce Dickinson

[04twillshaw]

Totally agree with all of those mate!

[Grant0610]

Go Paxman! Not keen on him but but he made Thomson look like the incompetent he is!

[ajuk1]

Congrats on getting this on the Facebook fan page for The Thick of IT.

[Bungay4]

Listen to what Thompson says when Paxo says about 6 Music: "It's really about numbers isn't it?". Thompson says: "It's more than that ... we could build its numbers". Earlier he says its numbers could be doubled or even trippled. So why scrap it!!!!

The BBC says it's going to focus on "excellence" (fair enough) so why scrap a station that's really found it's mojo?

ANSWER = They're scaried stiff of Murdoch and the Tories.

[zerrax49330]

WOW! Mark Thompson is a real imbecile. At least Tim Davie can make a decent point (though, as it happens, the wrong one)

"Oh my god this is like watching a lion rape a sheep, but in a bad way"

...Classic

[EscapetoSunrise]

Jeremy Paxman is one of the only reasons I still watch television I have had the total honor of hearing him speak in person and it was brilliant. This is also hilarious, he was made to look like a person making a mistake. Well done the BBC!

[4Colours]

heh, brilliant video.

[MissStarlightCake]

genius! I love it x

[UKTVBilge]

It's Kelvin MacKenzie laughing in the background, not a cameraman. But hey, it works!

[AllanWellsfanclub]

hardy har har

[fistofonan]

Now that is fucking funny.

[CowbagTV]

I am such a dick of - can I blame the lemsip please!

[djgrobie]

Very well done. Though it is Jeremy Paxman, not Vine. Jeremy Vine couldn't take apart a jigsaw puzzle.

[fotoline]

Shut Thompson down!
