Plenty of women here, says BBC

"BBC faces tide of claims for sex and age discrimination", revealed the Daily Mail this morning. A freedom of information request shows that in the past year there have been 12 cases brought by women at the Beeb alleging discrimination. So what arrives in Monkey's inbox just before elevenses? What looks like a hastily written press release announcing an extended run of a new series of Rip-Off Britain, fronted by the BBC's very own Golden Girls: Gloria Hunniford, Jennie Bond and Angela Rippon. Monkey is sure the two incidents are entirely unrelated.
