The 12 year olds at the BBC

As Ed Reardon points out, the BBC looks as if it is staffed by 12 year olds. I mention here from time to time as well as elsewhere what it is that these 12 year olds are prepared to do.

I have just listened to the final episode of Gulliver's Travels on BBC Radio 4 and half way through that adaptation they make Gulliver say, " ... people are starving out there."! Out there ... this comes from the X Files, of course when we learned that, "The Truth is Out There"!

A clot on Radio 4 has just said that, "... the stand out character ... ". We used to have outstanding things until the 12 year olds decided that they would go to Oxbridge for their degrees but working class USA as the source of all changes in English English.

Now they are reading from a short story in which the author has let us know that he knows the proper names of several parts of the human brain and their processes. He then told us that a bullet left  a brain having exited it: what kind of a nonsense word is that?
