404

The BBC is obliged, by Ofcom, to publish a fortnightly bulletin of complaints, by numbers. In the two weeks from April 30, Auntie received 6,000 odd complaints - but no single programme attracted more than 100 - the threshold for publication.

The bulletin from the 14th May onwards was, in theory, published on 31st May - but the link to the pdf is broken, and remains so. I'm guessing Radio 2 heads the list, with the All New Jo and Simon Show - I'll let you know when the link is fixed.

9pm update: Not even 100 complaints about Jo and Simon, as commenters below have noted....

  1. I would have thought the Alistair Campbell's Labour human-twitterbot army would be flooding them with spurious complaints on any tiny Labour angle
    They did it on the Newsnight Corbyn Russian hat issue.
