Even The Rix Mix is now aware of the controversy at the world's longest-running children's TV program,
The Blue Peter on BBC. They held an online poll to name the show's new kitten; "Cookie" won but the show's staff ignored the vote & chose "Socks." Only one in a
long list of scandals to hit BBC, most involving bogus call-in contest winners. But the really serious offense was a documentary TV promo implying The Queen had "stormed out" of an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot in a snit when Annie suggested Her Majesty be less formal & remove the tiara. The head of the head of BBC One was lopped off for that miscalculation.
