Sir David Jason, the star of, amongst other hit shows, Only Fools and Horses (the infamous Del-Boy) is the latest in the line of stars in trouble for saying really bad things on the radio. Apparently at 7.10am last Tuesday, whilst being interviewed live on the Christian O'Connell show, the 69 year old star said the following joke:
'What do you call a Pakistani cloak room attendant?'
'Me hat me coat'!!!
Personally I love David Jason, he is a really funny bloke and everything I have ever read about him points to him being a nice fella, I am sure he wasn't trying to offend anyone. In fact the show has not even received any complaints yet (probably because at 7.10am all the Pakistanis in the UK are still asleep as their take-aways don't close until about 1am) but still the BBC feel the need to issue public apologies.
A spokeswoman for the station said: "The comments made by David Jason were unacceptable and Christian O'Connell distanced himself from them live on air. We consider the views of our listeners to be very important and have received no complaints about these comments. We will continue to monitor any complaints and Christian O'Connell will issue an on-air apology in tomorrow's breakfast show."
Mad!!!!!
me hat me coat-well i think it's funny! lol. David Jason is a legend. :)
