Jeremy Neal: Reply BBC

Sorry I forgot to post the reply from the BBc. Here it comes:

Dear Mr Neal

Thanks for your e-mail regarding ‘Euro 2008 Match of the Day Live: Germany v Poland’.

I understand you were disappointed with the panel’s comments on astrology.

I can assure that no offence was intended, the panel’s expertise is in football and certainly not astrology so we hope that viewers wouldn’t take their comments too seriously.

Nevertheless, I’d like to assure you that we’ve registered your comments on our audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which we compile daily for all programme makers and commissioning executives within the BBC, and also their senior management. It ensures that your points, and all other comments we receive, are circulated and considered across the BBC.

The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.

Thanks again for taking the time to contact us with your concerns
