I'm guessing he has been offered a lot more to go elsewhere. Can't really blame him, if I had the chance to make more money doing the same thing, I would!

Everything I am reading on the net and hearing on the radio suggests that isn't the case, ITV don't have the money and Sky/C4 can't get the audiences to justify the salary. It looks like the BBC tabled a piss poor offer and said take it or leave it, he promtly walked and I don't blame him as he is one of the few people who can deliver ratings for the BBC at the moment. I am gobsmacked that he quit the Film show and Radio2 as well.

If he is the best the BBC can find it just shows the sad state of the industry right now. Personally I'd like Dylan Moran to do Film 2010.

Just look at the shite talk shows that were on over Christmas, Ruth Jones, Chatty Man...

I don't think he's worth what they paid him personally. I mean he's alright and can be funny but jeeze even if he was a comedy genuis he still wouldn't be worth such a stupid sum.

Xmas tv this year was utter crap, with the exception I am told of Hamlet...which I frigging missed!, I'd rather they just had unknown presenters and better programming tbh.

aye

Its probably not about the money - he has enough of it - he's probably sick & tired of all the bbc's political correctness. Don't get me wrong, I find the guy REALLY annoying, and I thought Barry Norman WAS the film show. We definitely need to see more of Dylan Moran on TV, but I don't think he'd be the best fit for the film show

Probably got a lot to do with his suspension. Wouldn't be suprised to see him come out with his own channel/production company.

The Big Fat Quiz of the Year with him and Russell Brand was hillarious.

Friday nioght with him was getting a bit tired i used to watch it but it was becoming older with the same jokes over and over imo

bout time for something fresh on a friday night tho i guess as graham norton signed new the other day he will just take it over in a similar format

I did find him in film whatever year it may be as informative and credible

Before he was pushed if you ask me, old wossy had seriously
gone off the boil, he just isn't funny if he can't be crude
or spout out endless innuendos, which he had to reign on.

His chat show had got cringy with me constantly hoping he could pull out a funny line, he used to be the best but his performance on that fundraiser (Children in need or summit) was utterly pathetic, he was floundering
for lines and I just couldn't watch it.

Not a big fan or anything but he's got to be one the very few people who are entertaining at the bbc. Who do they have left?

Its definitely a scooter
- he said he had a Vespa on his talk show
- cocks ride scooters (real men ride motorbikes) and Rossy is a huge cock
