Double Standards!

I can’t believe the fuss viewers have made over the, admittedly, eye-popping white dress worn by Holly Willoughby on a recent edition of “Dancing on Ice”. Complainants say she might as well have done the show topless. I wish she had. It might have been worth watching then. I’ve no doubt the parents of those eight and ten-year-old children watching before bedtime, who were so shocked, didn’t bat an eyelid when their kids watched John Simm punch David Tennant in the face last year! Violence is ok, then, but when faced with a perfectly covered pair of big breasts, there’s all hell to pay. Double standards methinks! Anyone who allows a child under the age of twelve to view the episodes on the recently released Season Three “Doctor Who” box set is actually breaking the law, despite it originally transmitting at 7pm, so why all the hullabaloo over a pretty girl flaunting her tits. She’s looking for more work and that’s how you get it in television, by selling yourself. These are her assets and very beautiful ones they are too. Besides, there’s probably not much else going on up top for most of these here today gone tomorrow starlets!

I remember seeing Holly a few years back on the Saturday morning kids show “Ministry of Mayhem”, while waiting to see “Gerry Anderson’s New Captain Scarlet” you understand, and she regularly wore precious little on those occasions! One time she was in a bikini and grass skirt ready for her usual soaking. Did anyone complain then, when the average age of the viewer (apart from myself and like-minded fans!) was probably even younger? Nope, and I bet all the Dads lapped it up as she stood there nearly naked, soaked to the skin, water dripping off her chin! I’m sure you get the picture!! She’s moved into mainstream telly with her latest venture, wears a lovely evening dress, and is chastised by a bunch of puritans for her trouble. The nanny state has truly gone berserk. It’s not like she sat there with her legs spread before the watershed… better stop myself before I get too carried away!!! She toned down her appearance a week later which is a shame because it’s like admitting she was wrong in simply looking beautiful. Next time, ask your kids if they think she looks pretty!

I'm now fervently wishing that I watched Dancing On Ice! She looks amazing! I agree with you - what a fuss over nothing (not saying that her amazing cleavage is nothing, of course). Ant and Dec frequently used adult humour on their kids programmes and we all remember the amazing Sally James on Tiswas... kids are not currupted by these things; they merely take from them an experience appropriate to their age.

I wish I'd seen that particular episode too, Steve! Holly looks stunning and I suspect jealousy on the part of those who complained.

I chanced upon Harry Hill, the other night, who was taking the piss out of Holly, superimposing his face on hers, and looking down her cleavage!

If only she was in "Doctor Who" and I was her Doctor... sorry THE Doctor!!

I wrote to the BBC to complain, I said where the f**k was the bit where Holly was jumping on the trampoline I sent down ?! :) There may be double standards but Holly has twin airbags as standard !!

Miss Willoughby used to work in children's telly, Andrew, so, picking up on one of Rose's comments, I thought I'd send the hilly Holly a bouncy castle as a keepsake!
