Hi all,
How do presenters on quiz shows get away with saying the things they do about various sports personalities\celebrities ?
Shows like They Think It's All Over, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I Got News etc etc etc.
I would've though there'd be law suits all over the place with the things they say !
Just wondered
Matt

I would have thought the legal teams would check each show carefullly for any trully outrageous material, but as said, it's done in a comedy context so it's not really meant to be taken seriously.
