0:00So whilst many of us are non the wiser, about the Scott Mills sacking, the mirror who first sort of ran the story thinks it's got the scoop inside BBC's Scott Mills scandal from crisis talks to facing oblivion, attends crisis meeting and no contact with friends, how Scott Mills sacking from the BBC unfolded minute by minute, so I'm not going to read the this is by Ellie Fry and Tom Bryant. Within days of a complaint being made, Scott Mills was shown the door by BBC bosses sacked over allegations relating to his personal conduct. So the mirror reveals that the BBC s decision to cut ties is to do with the 2016 police investigation. So we know all that. Sources say it took the BBC five days to sack Mills after the complaint.

1:02It understood that the radio host was hauled into crisis talks on Monday. He was taken off the air the following day. His contract was axed at the weekend. His close friends and acquaintances have been left totally blindsided. I've read all of this before. Another source close to the BBC say they acted quickly and decisively. It's been reported that Scott's alleged victim is thought to have come forward after the Hugh Edwards case was explored in a channel five drama. According to a BBC executive, the BBC sacking Scott at the same time of the release of the Edwards drama was not a coincidence. Okay. Let me see. Mills was taken off her and replaced by

2:02Gary Davis without warning. Scott was informed at the weekend that his contract with the corporation had been terminated. Friends and staff were left shell shocked. There's not really a lot of new info here. So I guess that's it for the moment until we find out. But that's that's just procedure, isn't it? I mean, okay, this happened. That happened. He said this. She said that they got an email blah, blah, blah. That's that's the process. That's what happened. We want to know what the substance of the allegations were. A lot of people are concerned that now someone makes a complaint against you and you've lost your job. So he's gone to ground. Mills has said to have shut down since the allegations surfaced. He was since he was booted from his dream job. Even friends

3:03are struggling to check in. So for the moment, that's it. He's been dropped as patron by cancer charity Neuroblastoma UK. Spokesperson said following his dismissal, we've taken the decision to part ways with Scott Mills. He has no longer a patron of our charity. We have communicated this decision to Scott and his team and would like to thank him for his support. To date, we remain unwavering in our mission. Blah blah blah. Okay, so so that's basically it. And the mirror is the one with the scoop. There's not really any any substance there is that we we don't really know anything more than we did a day ago. Okay, onwards and upwards. Here's our quiz. Now here's a question for you in which country would you find the oldest continuously operating university.

4:08The answer is Morocco. It's been going since the year 859 AD. What color is a polar bear's skin? It's skin is black. The fur is actually transparent. What is the only letter that doesn't appear on the periodic table? Okay, so would you rather time some dilemmas to make you think? Would you rather have to sing everything you say for the rest of your life or have to dance everywhere or dance everywhere you go? Oh God. Singing might get old fast if you're in serious conversations. Would you rather

5:15always feel too hot or always feel too cold? I think I'm a team hot too hot. At least you can take layers off you if you you know go on you. Well you can put things on as well. I don't know. Would you rather be famous but but hated by everyone or completely unknown and loved by your inner circle. And that that is a tough one for the ego.
