It looks like poor old Brian was blown out in favour Charlie Higson for the Windy Quaker oats ads. Shame on the beeb :(

Absolute disgrace. I saw Brian on the Biography channel and on breakfastTV recently and he sounded fine to me.

Interesting point by the way was the fact that while on breakfast TV he revealed that he is Fern Britten's brother-in-law - married to her sister.

Why is it shame on the beeb? Was it the commercial company that rejected Brian?
