Just when it looked like Channel Four couldn't get any worse, it got even worse again last night.

Bernard Manning, who recorded a Channel Four program 'This Was Your Life' died shortly afterwards, apparently after he made a racist joke.

Manning, who told those who attended the taping of the show, that he would be here for a long time yet, died when his kidneys could take no more.

A spokesman for Channel Four was not available to talk to us last night. They are obviously hiding something, the bastards.
