Now excuse me if I'm missing something, but why exactly is this Dan Penteado from Portugal needed on the show? He can hardly speak a word of English, so he just ferries Matt Alright at the back around on his motorbike.
Nothing wrong with that I hear you say. Well yes there is. If it was Matt Alright at the back who pitched the inclusion of motorbike for rushing to confront the bad guys, surely the BBC asked Matt if he could ride a motorbike? No I can't, but I thought it would be a good idea for someone to take me on the back of theirs. Why Matt? Can you not drive a car to the scene? Or have someone drive you in a car to the scene who doesn't need to be shown or giving a speaking part, who would command a substantially less salary from the TV Licence fee payers budget?
How about Ainsley Harriot suggesting Ready Steady Cook starts with him landing in a helicopter with Red Tomato and Green Pepper cards in his hand, where he then turns to the pilot and asks him to help the contestants by peeling spuds and chopping onions in his pilots uniform? All for a salary of £100k a year.
Now if Matt Alright at the back can't drive a motorbike, is he essential to the show either? Lets face it, Mr Alright at the back is famous for Watchdog, Rogue Traders and that televisual delight that was Food Poker. If you were never lucky enough to see an episode of it, please watch the clip. The contestant chefs had to pick food stuffs, by way of playing cards, and had to complete a recipe with these playing cards, trying to get a full house or flush. Fuckin rivetting Tv I can tell you.

I don't want to cast aspersions on Matt Alright at the back, as Wikipedia says he is happily married with 2 children, so it could be the Producer, Director, Clapper Loader whatever, but why else would this barely English speaking benefit cheat get the job?
The other possibility is Mr Penteado is a private investigator in his spare time, when he's not fraudulently filling out Housing Benefit forms, by the way, what a tw@, did he not think a prime-time BBC1 show would not be seen by someone who processes Housing Benefit forms? Do they only watch Channel 4 news at 7pm of an evening? and it is possible that one of the aforementioned presenters, directors, producers, clapper loaders or make-up artists on the show, has been caught dogging or visiting sex dungeons usually frequented by John Leslie, and Mr Penteado has blackmailed the said person and insisted they get him a role on the show, or he will blow the whistle. This is possible, but come on, this guy is a raving poofter for shore as Mock would say. Someone at the BBC needs to investigate this pronto, before all the staff are having their scantily clad friends popping up on The Weakest Link or Newsnight.
I can't be the only one who has noticed this disgraceful nepotism, so please click on the link below and sign my e-petition.
