  • Forum comments RE: Jade Goody

    Thu 09 Apr 2009

    While we of course appreciate comments and opinions expressed via the website forum concerning the Radio Times article on Jade Goody, we would also ask that the comments made are kept clean and respectful. We do not wish that the forum becomes a place for writing defamatory and nasty remarks aimed at Sir Michael Parkinson or Jade Goody. Racist or classist comments are also unacceptable.
    The same applies to messages emailed in to the website address.
    Many thanks for your co-operation.
