Perhaps best remembered for being sacked by the BBC for attending sex parties with prostitutes and using cocaine.

"Frank Joseph Bough (/ˈbɒf/; 15 January 1933 – 21 October 2020) was an English television presenter. He was best known as the former host of BBC sports and current affairs shows including Grandstand, Nationwide and Breakfast Time, which he launched alongside Selina Scott and Nick Ross. Over a long broadcasting career, Bough became renowned for his smooth, relaxed and professional approach to live broadcasts, once being described as "the most unassailable performer on British television".[2] In 1987, Michael Parkinson said: "If my life depended on the smooth handling of a TV show, Bough would be my first choice to be in charge."[2] In 1988, Bough was sacked by the BBC,[3] following revelations that he had taken cocaine and visited brothels. He later presented programmes on London Weekend Television, ITV, Sky TV and on London's LBC radio before his retirement in 1998." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Bough

Bit of a lad was our Frank. Liked the old Bolivian marching powder and the ladies too. Bit anti-social though it seems as he wasn't a bum bandit...

And BBC banned John Lydon because of his Jimmy Savile comments.

That really depends upon your views on economic exploitation of women for sexual purposes and the criminal violence inherent in the cocaine trade plus the devastating effect its use has upon many. On balance, and only in my opinion, yes it does.

On balance, and only in my opinion, yes it does. , I was thinking more, his behavoiur sounded typical of a tory mp. As for economic exploitation of women for sexual purposes, , more than one isaan princess with no more than a P2 education has ripped off many of his ilk, more power to them. As for the drug trade, leave that in the last century, just legalise it, or decriminalise it, if people want to get high, they will, Uncle Sams war on drugs as been nothing but an abject failure, persoanlly, I feel there are too many people involved for them to let go, DEA, FBI, ATAF, the american penal system which seems to be nothing more than a money making scam for certain states, correction officers, parole officeers, ffs, its almost like a cottage industry of jobsworths, the ultimate quango.

Interesting to read in the wiki page on Frank Bough that
"In 1993, after his activities were regularly ridiculed in monologues on Have I Got News for You by Angus Deayton (who himself would be dismissed from the show following cocaine and prostitute use) ..."
