The insensitivity of the BBC

I can not believe that BBC1 has not cancelled from its schedule Changing Rooms which is on right now. It is coming from Boscastle, which, according to Lawrence Llewlyn-Bowen was "recently devastated by floods" Just a touch insensitive don't you think to the families of the estimated 60,000 who have lost their lives?

I think that they should cancel "Changing Rooms" Irrespective of where it was filmed.......

I am sorry I disagree with you that "Changing Rooms" should be taken off. This was a disaster area not so long ago, Yes, people have got insurance to help them get their properties back to what they were before the flooding but I bet that they have not got half the money they lost in the flooding. The BBC may be doing this programme. But everyone that is in a disaster needs help no matter where in the world it happens. Yes I am sorry that 50,000 people have lost their lives in Asia but most of the governments/Red Cross/Oxfam will be sending aid to these countries. Yes I have donated to the Red Cross for the Relief Fund in Asia. This is just my opinion. Sue
