disappointed with one show.

[themagician]

just watched the one show ,with reference to the barry beavis case,

it was very misleading watching someone screw up penalty charge tickets,

and then explaining as to the demise of barry and the" private parking charge notice"

 

supreme court case awaiting the result in September,

which had totally no relevance to penalty charge notices given out by the police and local authorities.

[Sparks_]

And the constant referring to the penalty charge as a fine!

You could lodge a formal complaint with the BBC that it was misleading or misrepresentative

It was the BBC, of course it was.....

 

Typical mainstream journalism that touches the surface, but ultimately reinforces the publics perception of Parking Charge Notices.

[ericsbrother]

It will cause more confusion that it informs.

[SabreSheep]

With their future under scrutiny this is a good time to be complaining to the bbc and OFCOM

It's probably out of ignorance and illiteracy. You all must have notice the gross grammar errors and mis spellings that haunt the ticker along the bottom of their news channel.

It has to be illiteracy as it goes around for hours and hours before getting changed, not doubt when a viewer emails them.

That ticker is maintained by interns and an automated script.

Thank you for contacting us regarding BBC One’s ‘The One Show’ as broadcast on 1 September.

 

We understand you feel our coverage of the issue of parking tickets was misleading, as you believe it gave the impression that penalty charge notices can be discarded without consequences, and that the programme didn’t make clear the difference between private parking charge notices and those issued by the police and local authorities.

 

The image of a penalty charge notice being screwed up was largely symbolic to reflect Barry’s attitude to the charges. We referred repeatedly to private parking and we endeavoured to make clear the distinction between this and local authority parking throughout the programme.

 

We appreciate that the Barry Beavis case is quite different to an ordinary parking charge notice and we thank you for your comments on how we covered the issue of parking charges.

 

We value your feedback about our programme. All complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning and we included your points in this overnight report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensure your complaint is seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future reporting.

 

Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.

 

Kind regards

What the BBC should be doing is saying that they are not fines, just an invitation to pay or an invoice and has little legal standing unless a judge says it has via a county court judgement.

 

I wonder if they dumb things down so that they appeal to the lowest common denominator. They assume that people won't know the difference so blithely continue saying 'fine'

Im sure others are annoyed with the confusion between invoices/damages and fines and also between DCA's/Bailiffs.
